Our Big Build project, where we hope to build new hospitals on both our Edgbaston and city centre sites, kicked off in 2020 and we are now looking for your ideas on how our inpatient wards should be laid out in our planned Women’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital buildings.

Our Fertility service, which has its home at our Women’s Hospital, continues to operate, care for and support our women, men and families. None of our services have been temporarily paused or changed as was necessary during the first period of national ‘lockdown’ in March 2020.

Winter has now well and truly arrived but while our Emergency Department is always a busy place at this time of year, the simple message from our dedicated team is that ‘we’re still here for you should you need us’. To help families decide on when and where to seek help during this difficult time, they’ve shot some useful videos.

As the clock strikes midnight to bring in the New Year more and more people now celebrate with fireworks but, as we prepare to mark the beginning of 2021, our specialist Burns team are asking people to stay safe.

A new video to reassure those visiting our Children’s Hospital for outpatient appointments is clocking up hundreds of views.

Our December 2020 edition of our monthly publication for patients, families and staff is here and it's packed full of festive fun.

It’s fair to say 2020 has been different but one thing is for sure… Christmas isn’t cancelled at our hospital.

As the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic hit its peak earlier this year NHS teams, including here at our BWC, were by the sides of countless patients. Mum, Perpetual Uke, spent time in Critical Care - with her twins brought into the world via caesarean section at just 26 weeks by our Women's Hospital team. 

This World Prematurity Day (Tuesday 17 November) we’re celebrating the work of our ambitious, brave and compassionate teams that are by the sides of thousands of babies and families each year – both at our Women’s and Children’s Hospitals.

Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at our Women’s Hospital has been by the sides babies and families for decades; offering the world-class pioneering care.

Our Associate Director of Workforce, Surinder Kaur, is one of the thousands of mums who knows, first-hand, about the dedication of our team, who cared for her identical triplets after they were born prematurely at 34 weeks in 1995. Her daughters, Tanny, Gurveena and Raajun, weighed between just 2lbs and 3lbs and needed the support of our NICU team after coming into the world.
