Common reasons for calling the Labour Ward
NB If you call the Labour ward with a query it does not necessarily mean that you will be invited in. We deal with each call individually and will direct mothers to the most appropriate person depending on your symptoms and the stage of your pregnancy. That may mean coming in for monitoring, being seen by your Community Midwife or your GP may be the most appropriate person to see.
Our staff at Salisbury District Hospital have long been well regarded for the quality of care and treatment they provide for our patients and for their innovation, commitment and professionalism. This has been recognised in a wide range of achievements and it is reflected in our award of NHS Foundation Trust status. This is afforded to hospitals that provide the highest standards of care.
