The Portland’s famous maternity unit combines top-class facilities with the clinical expertise of more than 50 consultant obstetricians, many of whom are considered to be amongst the world’s leading birthing experts.

Offering highly personalised care, the hospital’s maternity packages feature both consultant-led and midwife led maternity care, as well as services such as pregnancy scans and physiotherapy. Facilities include private en-suite rooms with bed for partner to stay and birthing pool, as well as an on-site neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU), on-site Adult High Dependency Unit (HDU, emergency theatre and 24/7 resident obstetric anaesthetist, ensuring delivery in the safest possible environment.

The Birth Company at The Portland Hospital

Children’s health

The paediatric unit at The Portland Hospital offers expert specialist care using the most advanced medical technology, from the treatment of everyday childhood conditions to scoliosis surgery and complex craniofacial reconstruction.

The world-leading complex medical and surgical care provided at The Portland is supported by their on-site paediatric intensive care unit. In addition, the children’s department is open 24/7 for the assessment of non-life threatening medical needs and minor conditions, as well as elective and urgent admissions.

Children and their families visiting The Portland are made to feel as comfortable and reassured as possible, with young patients having access to a variety of entertainment options.

Neonatal medicine

The Portland Hospital has an on-site neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for premature and ill babies. Equipped with the latest technology and staffed by a specialist team of consultant neonatologists and neonatal nurses, the unit cares for premature babies born from 28 weeks onwards, those with low birth weight or those who have a medical condition that requires intensive care.

To ensure continuity of care, babies are looked after by the same team of neonatal nurses on progression to the hospital’s special care baby unit (SCBU).

The Portland can arrange for babies born within the NHS requiring neonatal services to be transferred to their care.
