Urgent safety alert issued for baby self-feeding pillows - Child Accident Prevention Trust
Over 7,500 babies are born in Oxfordshire every year. Our vision for every family is to experience excellent personalised care from the right professionals, through pregnancy, birth and beyond. We strive to deliver real choice and continuity of carer.
We are also a regional referral unit for complex pregnancies, and our Newborn Care Unit provides special care for babies in Oxfordshire and across the South East.
We encourage those with low-risk pregnancies to have their babies at home or in one of our five midwifery-led units; however, it is your choice where to give birth, and your choices include the Delivery Suite at the John Radcliffe Hospital.
No matter where you chose to birth, our excellent midwives and doctors work with you and your family to support the decisions you make about your pregnancy and beyond.
