Opinion on hospitals (south London) Croydon area
Show your support
Hi ! I would say if you can travel to St George’s … please do, Croydon university has had many failures, horror stories etc. Epsom hospital is also really good, if you have transport, bare in mind st heliers is VERY small in terms of maternity care, so there’s a lot to consider… like Chantelle said before me, check maternal health stats!!!
St heliers was amazing!
Hey, St helier was absolutely amazing, although small the care was there and I was really looked after. Thanks to an amazing midwife she spotted my liver condition. St George's I have had friends and my sister say the standard of care is not where it needs to be for post and pre pregnancy. My sister transfered to St helier mid pregnancy. Follow your gut and what's right for you. I never even considered Croydon as an option.
Congratulations! Have a look at stats where the maternity departments are concerned, read up on their cqc rating and maybe see if you're able to read up on the experience of mothers at all hospitals, to find out how they were treated during their pregnancy? Distance between hospitals and home is key imo, but don't compromise on standards.
