Our Mental Health Midwives support the 1 in 4 pregnancies that are affected by mental health needs — offering personalised, compassionate care to around 1,400 women each year.

The service is raising awareness of postpartum psychosis and backing the team as they take on the Action on Postpartum Psychosis’ ‘Miles for Mums and Babies 2026’ challenge.

Thank you, team, for all that you do. 💙

✨Our wonderful team of research midwives from OUWRH planted sunflower seedlings in the Silver Star/SSNAP garden in memory of their wonderful colleague, Jess Farmer🌻
A beautiful tribute to someone clearly so loved and remembered by all who knew her. As the sunflowers grow and bloom, they will stand as a lasting reminder of Jess.
Thinking of Jess's family, friends and colleagues 💛✨

✨We’re pleased to have recently funded 10 mood tubes , which are specialist lighting units into selected delivery rooms at the Women’s Centre, marking phase one of our wider improvement project. These mood tubes feature built-in Bluetooth speakers and calming light effects, helping to create a more soothing and supportive environment for patients.

Maggie Findlay, Manager of the Silver Star Fund, part of Oxford Hospitals Charity, said: “We have had very positive feedback from patients so far and are very grateful to the generous family who made this possible. This is just the beginning of further improvements, and we look forward to bringing these to our patients.” ✨
