The NCL Maternal Medicine Network provides comprehensive care for women with pre-existing medical conditions who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, as well as those who develop medical complications during their pregnancy. 

University College London Hospital (UCLH) is a maternal medicine centre which acts as a hub and coordinates care for women with the most complex conditions. It supports the provision of comprehensive care across the NCL network at Barnet Hospital, North Middlesex University Hospital (NMUH), Royal Free Hospital (RFH) and Whittington Hospital (WH).
