Summary
The Department administratively resides within the specialty of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital).
The Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department is based on one site in Grimsby although a few antenatal and gynaecology clinic sessions also occur in Louth and Mablethorpe, 30 miles to the West. The maternity unit, NICU and administrative offices are all located within the Family Services building in Grimsby. Antenatal clinics, gynaecology out-patients and colposcopy and the gynaecology in-patients beds are all located within Women’s Health Unit, again within the Building.
In 2023/24 there were 2,121 deliveries in the Maternity Unit. There is Consultant Anaesthetist cover during working hours and a 24-hour epidural service is in operation. Home confinements are well established in the area and are the responsibility of the midwifery staff.
We have facilities for outpatient hysteroscopy and colposcopy, early pregnancy assessment, pregnancy advisory including the provision of medical terminations, and pre-operative assessment. Pre-operative assessment, medical terminations and early pregnancy assessment are nurse based with medical lead. We also have the use of a variable number of day beds in the day case unit.
As well as the departmental rules and procedures, which you are required to observe and follow, the Trust has developed a number of general policies and procedures, which apply to your employment. This Trust aims towards maintaining the goodwill and confidence of its own staff and the general public. To assist in achieving this objective it is essential that at all times, employees carry out their duties in a courteous and sympathetic manner, treating everyone with dignity and respect. Whilst the Trust recognises specific responsibilities fall upon management, it is also the duty of all employees to accept personal responsibility for the practical application of these policies, procedures and standards.
