About the service
Here at Kingston Maternity Unit, our philosophy of care is to put women and birthing people at the centre of our service. We aim to make every birth special and ensure your hopes and expectations are met in this special experience.
We use the words 'woman' or 'mother' while recognising that not all people who use maternity services identify or define themselves as women. We will always ask how you would like to be described and adapt our language to meet individual needs and preferences.
