Our Poppy’s Promise Commitment

We believe that compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our team —  clinical or non-clinical — plays a vital role in ensuring that patients, families, and colleagues are treated with dignity, empathy, and respect at all times.

We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising  individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care.

Effective communication is central to safe and high-quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a  meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding.

By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values — ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.

Our delivery Suite has 13 rooms and 2 theatres and our teams provide care for approximately 4500 pregnant people and their families each year. 

We have excellent facilities including a birthing pool, scan facilities and all rooms are en-suite. Our Triage has implemented the BSOTs system for assessment, we are looking for dynamic leadership in this area.

Our maternity services are committed to providing high quality care for approximately 4500 pregnant people and families each year.  This is an exciting yet challenging time for the maternity services in Shropshire, as we embrace a period of improvement and development.  We will continue to work in partnership with our women, the Local Maternity System (LMS) and our CCG’s to develop our future model of care.
