Stepping inside a hospital can be a daunting experience. Having prior knowledge of the space, layout and what’s involved can be extremely helpful not just for expectant mums, but for family and friends too, particularly when access has been limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Take the time to explore the Antenatal Ward at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford (PRH) from the comfort of your own home via our new 360° virtual tour.

Created with input from the Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Maternity Voices Partnership (MVP), maternity service-users and midwifery professionals, this virtual tour of our MLU at PRH provides a completely interactive look at the unit. Information points can be expanded to provide more detail about facilities within the unit’s birthing rooms, including birthing pools and modular sofas. General information is provided on every aspect of a service-user experience, from how to get to the midwife led unit to café opening times.

For the best results, we recommend you view the tour in full-screen by right clicking on the tour and clicking ‘enter fullscreen’ (on mobile tap and hold then click ‘enter fullscreen’)
