Share review of William Harvey Hospital
Excellent clinical care - majority of staff positive and helpful
Good support by the midwives and student midwives during a physically and mentally demanding time
Disappointing that there are no male toilet facilities in the unit, as this means partners have to trek to the hospital entrance to use the toilets. If labour progressed quickly, this could mean that they are absent at a critical time! Also, there were only two women on the labour ward at one point and my 7-year old came to visit me. He was told that he was not allowed to use the toilets either - which seemed a bit ridiculous in the circumstances
The staff ran a bath for me immediately after delivery - very thoughtful, but would have preferred to have access to a shower so as not to be sitting in bloody/mucky water!
