"deliery suite great ... maternity ward abysmal!"

About: Bedford Hospital South Wing

I had my second baby here and I was shocked at how the maternity ward were treating patients. Antenatally the staff leave you for long period of time, forget to give medication, don't update you on when you are likely to be seen and have no say in decisions at all. Some of the doctors are rude and completely dismiss anything you say. All in all fantastic delivery suite but terrible orchard ward!
