This award winning team is passionate about providing continuity of carer, promoting choice, supporting home birth and facilitating antenatal education. The team are extremely supportive and encouraging of each other, and believe it is important to foster close and trusting working relationships within the team, in order to provide the best care for women and birthing people. They also prioritise enabling one another to develop and progress within their roles, and complete additional training to improve their service.
Ceredigion is a beautiful area in West Wales, located on the cardigan bay coast. Sandy beaches, dolphin spotting, the Wales Coastal path and rural rugged mountains are all on the doorstep.
