Midwives invite you to birthday of Bracken Birthing Centre

Midwives at Musgrove Park are inviting members of the public to celebrate the 10th birthday of the hospital’s Bracken birth centre.

A party is being held at the hospital to celebrate Bracken, as well as its sister birthing centre at Bridgwater Hospital – called Mary Stanley Unit, and Musgrove’s home birth team.

It takes place on Sunday 22 July, from 2 – 5pm, at Musgrove Park Hospital’s Jubilee Concourse lawn (next to M&S).

All members of the public are welcome to attend this family-friendly party, which will have music, food, health promotion stands and games. The midwifery team will also launch its fundraising campaign in an effort to raise £2,000 to improve Bracken’s environment.

Sally Bryant, maternity matron at Musgrove Park Hospital, said: “If you’re able to help, we would love to hear from you. Please contact our fundraising team on fundraising@tst.nhs.uk. “We look forward to sharing Bracken’s 10th birthday with you, so please come join the celebrations.”
