Cardiac Maternity

Cardiac maternity services in the North West are based at three main centres. These services provide specialised care for women with significant cardiac conditions before, during, and after pregnancy. They are based at:

  1. St Mary’s Hospital Manchester (The Greater Manchester and Eastern Cheshire GMEC)
  2. Liverpool Women’s Hospital (Cheshire & Merseyside C&M)
  3. Blackpool Victoria Hospital (Lancashire & South Cumbria L&SC)

The services at St Mary’s and The Liverpool Womens are also jointly run by the ACHD cardiology team and specialist nurses in our region who have expertise in supporting ladies with complex congenital heart disease.

How to make a referral

Referrals are coordinated by Maternal Medicine Centres (MMCs). These are based at:
