Maternity (Obstetrics)

The Maternity team at the L&D provides a comprehensive service to women in Luton, south Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. In 2012 we successfully delivered over 5,000 babies.

The L&D is proud to employ some of the most professional midwives in the UK - both at the hospital and in the community. So our Mums can rest assured that they will be getting the very best of care available.
