Philosophy
I believe it is important for women, and in particular pregnant women, to be able to make informed decisions regarding their health care and that of their infants, family or extended family.
I am committed to all women's health issues and therefore ensure women are given all necessary information to enable them to make the appropriate decision regarding their care antenatally, during labour/delivery and in the postnatal period.
I firmly believe sensitive and honest communication is the cornerstone of caring.
