We are passionate about the quality of care we provide and our woman-focused approach looks at your needs throughout each and every stage of your pregnancy. We provide maternity services at Torbay Hospital and the Whitelake Unit at Newton Abbot Hospital and in the community, supporting around 2000 women and birthing people a year who give birth with us. You can choose to plan to give birth at either one of our hospitals or at home. We aim to provide the best possible experience for mothers/gestative parents, babies and families, and are truly delighted that so many women and birthing people not only choose to return to us for second and subsequent births, but also recommend us to family and friends. The majority of women and birthing people experience uncomplicated pregnancies and birth journeys and we have a full range of options for maternity care. As well as our fantastic midwifery-led care we also provide an excellent obstetric model of care to include specialist support for more complex pregnancies and health conditions. We are very proud of our teamwork ethic, where staff work together to plan and deliver one-to-one care tailored to the needs of individual women and birthing people.

⚠️ Product recall: SMA Infant Formula and Follow-On Formula

Nestlé is recalling several SMA Infant Formula and Follow-On Formula products as a precaution due to the possible presence of cereulide toxin.

Cereulide can cause rapid onset of nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. It’s unlikely to be destroyed by boiling water or cooking.

Even if your baby seems well, it is essential to stop using affected products. If the formula was prescribed by a health professional, consult a pharmacist or other medical professional before changing formula.

For a full list of affected batches and what to do next, visit: https://www.food.gov.uk/news-alerts/alert/fsa-prin-02-2026
