During pregnancy, it is recommended that women undergo screening for Gestational Diabetes. Historically, this test has been dreaded by mum, but we’ve now made it something to look forward to.
Mums arrive fasted and have their blood tests taken by one of our experienced staff members. They are then treated to an hour of rest in our divine relaxation room and an hour day spa treatment. This service is seeing an increased uptake in screening and also promoting antenatal and postnatal wellbeing by linking women in with exceptional quality pregnancy and post-natal services. As such, we are focusing on prevention rather than cure.”
