AOC is a unique practice made up of six specialist obstetricians and support staff. We work as a team sharing patient care and expertise to provide the highest standard of pregnancy and birth care.
Together we have many years of experience. All of us feel privileged to be able to share in the care of women during their pregnancy.
AOC provides a full range of care including pre-pregnancy advice, antenatal, labour, birth and postnatal care.
We also have an obstetric physician and paediatrician based at our centre and close links with physiotherapists, lactation consultants, psychologists and midwives to provide complete pregnancy care.
We hope you find the information contained on our website helpful in making your choice for a lead maternity carer.
