Fetal Medicine: Our department coordinates fetal medicine services, including cardiology assessments, to provide comprehensive care for expectant mothers and their unborn babies.

Neonatal Services: We ensure access to neonatal services and transport, supporting premature or ill newborns with specialised care and transportation to neonatal intensive care units when needed.

Paediatric Specialties: We commission all delegated paediatric specialties, ensuring access to comprehensive care for children with a wide range of medical conditions.

Paediatric Intensive Care: Our department oversees the commissioning of paediatric intensive care services, providing critical care for seriously ill or injured children.

Paediatric Pathology: We facilitate access to paediatric pathology services, including laboratory testing and diagnostics, to support the diagnosis and treatment of childhood illnesses.

Perinatal Pathology: Our commissioning efforts extend to perinatal pathology services, supporting families through the investigation and understanding of pregnancy and infant loss.

We are committed to promoting the health and well-being of mothers, babies, and children across Wales. Through strategic commissioning, collaboration with stakeholders, and continuous quality improvement initiatives, we strive to ensure equitable access to high-quality maternal and child health services for all families.
