Booking information

Consultant obstetricians are booked directly by the patient. A guide to all of our obstetricians is shown opposite. Their PAs will be able to advise you on their availability and arrange an initial antenatal booking appointment. Please note that the obstetrician’s fees are in addition to hospital charges and should be discussed directly with them.

Midwives are booked directly through the hospital. Please note that we have a team of midwives who work together to provide your pregnancy and delivery care, and while we will try to ensure continuity of care, we cannot guarantee that you will see the same midwife at your antenatal appointments and through delivery. A deposit will be required to secure your booking with The Kensington Wing.

Midwives

Midwife means ‘with-woman’ and here at The Kensington Wing this is what the team aim to achieve. We offer midwife-led care as well as providing support for patients being looked after primarily by consultants.

We believe in empowerment, choice and control for all women, providing up-to-date, evidence-based information to help you make informed choices throughout your care. Our focus here on The Kensington Wing is on women-centred, holistic care. To arrange midwife-led care or to enquire further about this service, please call us directly on 020 3315 8616 or 020 3315 8618.

Health insurance

Most insurance companies do not cover normal labour and delivery, although in some instances insurance companies are prepared to pay all or part of the cost of stay. Your account will remain your responsibility at all times and we will ask for full payment at the time of discharge.

Insurance settlement will be between yourself and your insurance company, although we will be happy to assist with relevant documentation that may be requested.

Car Parking

There is limited on-site parking at the hospital.
