About the Ward

 

Lady Mary is a mixed antenatal and postnatal ward; we aim to give continuity of care to mothers and their babies. There are 43 beds, and we can also have up to 26 babies (when we are full).

 

Finding Lady Mary Ward

 

Lady Mary Ward is on Level 2 of the Rosie Hospital. It is signposted from the main reception of the Rosie Hospital on Robinson Way.

 

From the Rosie main entrance: head straight through the Rosie reception area. Take the lift/stairs to level 2. On exiting the lift/stairs, Lady Mary Ward is clearly signposted.

 

From the main hospital entrance: in the reception area turn right onto the main concourse. Turn left and go towards the main ward lifts. Before the lifts, turn right onto the long corridor and head towards the Addenbrooke's Treatment Centre. The Rosie is clearly signposted off this corridor.

 

If you are likely to be hospitalised for two weeks or more, your visitors can get a discounted parking ticket from the main reception. This allows you to exit from the car parks for 14 consecutive days from the day you validate the ticket.

Antenatal services

 

During the antenatal period, we aim to advise, support and care for women and their partners throughout problematic pregnancies; this usually includes a period of assessment and observation. These women will have one of the consultants allocated to Lady Mary Ward as their lead professional.

 

 

Postnatal services

 

Postnatally, we offer support to new parents, which includes learning to care for the newborn baby. We offer advice and observation of the normal changes that happen to mothers and babies following delivery, and we can refer to other professionals if there is any significant deviation from the normal. We will also ensure that mothers and their partners know how to obtain help and support once they are at home.

 

 

Staffing

 

We have a core team of ward clerks, health care assistants, auxiliaries and ward assistants. The midwives and ward managers rotate throughout the service, to enable professional development. We also have two volunteer breast feeding advisors, who visit the ward weekly.
