Our Trust has achieved the UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Initiative (BFI) Stage 3 Accreditation Award, for our West Middlesex Hospital Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital Neonatal ICU (NICU).

This is the highest level of Baby Friendly accreditation and recognises that evidence-based standards supporting infant feeding and parent–baby relationships have been successfully embedded into everyday practice.

This achievement demonstrates that our services deliver consistent high-quality care in line with national standards, underpinned by excellent education, partnership working with families, and a culture of continuous improvement.
