Our vision of maternity care is that pregnancy, birth and the post-natal period are a physiological and healthy process. In order to ensure the quality of care we deliver, we meet weekly to discuss all relevant issues within the team. Furthermore, we have frequent meetings and direct contact with an obstetrician from the Reinier de Graaf Gasthuis who provides support, advice and further care where necessary.

We consider it important to support our future colleagues during their practice training placements. This means that you may meet a student midwife who is working with us in the practice and we would appreciate your cooperation with this. However, if you would rather a student not be present you can let this be known to one of the midwives. We also ask for your understanding for the occasions on which we enlist a locum midwife to cover for us.

Our aim is that you will get to know all of the midwives during the time that you are under our care during your pregnancy, so that you are familiar with the whole team by the time you give birth. Your birth will be supervised by the midwife who is on-call on the day that you go in to labour. You can contact the practice by phone every work day between 09.00 and 13.00, during these hours our assistants Roos Sierkstra en Marjanke de Vries will be available to take your call.
