A hospital’s maternity services are set to move to a newly-built health hub next month.
From Monday, February 23, the QEH’s Lynn-based Maple Midwifery Hub will be relocating to the King’s Lynn Health Hub just off Nar Ouse Way.
Moving from their current base in the St Augustine’s Centre on Columbia Way, the team, who provide a range of maternity services including antenatal and postnatal clinics, will be seeing all patients in this new purpose-built health care unit.
The health hub is located on Nar Ouse Way in King’s Lynn..
The health hub opened last year and will give the Maple and Poplar Community teams a spacious environment, a purpose-built healthcare base to see families, with dedicated clinic rooms and office space.
The Maple Midwifery Hub offers antenatal midwifery clinics, postnatal clinics, specialist clinics, life with your baby classes, diabetes screening, vaccinations, pre-booking clinics, time to talk and feeding support.
Pippa Street, QEH Chief Nurse, said: “This move to a new facility will give patients and staff access to purpose-built clinical space to allow our community-based Maple Midwifery Hub the space it needs to continue to provide a wide range of maternity services in a local setting.
“This move to enhance our community-based facilities is in line with the Government’s ten-year health plan for the NHS and will benefit both the families using this service and our QEH teams working out in the community.”
The hospital reinforces that parking is free at the Nar Ouse Way site, and can be accessed by public transport.
