The Fetal, Antenatal, Neonatal and Surgical clinic: multidisciplinary team working to support families.

The fetal medicine, antenatal medicine, neonatal and surgical teams have come together at St Mary's Hospital, Manchester, to offer a holistic, family-orientated clinic for parents-to-be of in utero babies who are known to have surgical problems. These families face high levels of stress and anxiety, and have questions about their unborn child that need answering. This multidisciplinary clinic has shown clear benefits in maximising parental understanding, empowering parents through knowledge sharing, and preparing the future relationship between parents and medical teams for the long-term care of the baby.
