MY Maternity & Neonatal

📢 Unfortunately, it has been necessary to cancel Thursday’s pregnancy vaccination clinic at Pontefract Hospital. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

💉 Our maternity service offers both drop-in and bookable sessions for Pertussis and RSV vaccinations throughout the year, plus the Flu vaccination from October to March, conveniently available in our hospital antenatal clinics.

Getting vaccinated during pregnancy is a safe and effective way to help protect both you and your baby from serious illness. Vaccines such as Pertussis (whooping cough) and RSV provide your baby with vital protection in their first weeks of life, when they are most vulnerable.

📌 Please note: the clinic at Pontefract Hospital on Thursday 27 November will be running from 1pm to 4.30pm.

✅ To book an appointment, please speak to your community midwife, or drop in at one of the following clinics as shown below.

In October 2023, Katie Robinson and her husband Jamie from Cleckheaton faced the heartbreaking loss of their daughter, Freya, who was stillborn. As they honour Freya’s second birthday, they have made the heartfelt decision to fundraise for an Abi Cooling Cot, which they will generously donate to Pinderfields Hospital.

Katie shared: "Thanks to a previously donated cooling cot, we were able to spend three precious days with Freya in hospital. That time meant the world to us and inspired us to take action. We’d now like to give more families the opportunity to have precious time with their angels.”

The Abi Cooling Cot is a specially designed refrigerated unit that allows families to spend more time with their baby than would otherwise be possible. This time can be vital in helping parents bond, say goodbye, and begin to process their grief.
