Roaring Efforts for Manor’s Maternity Team

Walsall Manor Hospital is taking receipt of new equipment today following a kind donation from a local club.

Following requests from the hospital for new equipment, The Walsall Lions Club has donated £250 for a waterproof Doppler machine. The Doppler machine is a hand-held monitor that keeps track of the unborn baby’s heart rate, and can be used during water births.

As part of a national Baby Lifeline appeal, Maternity and Neonatal units across the country have requested various amounts of equipment totalling around £1.6million.

Trudie Roberts, Delivery Suite Matron said: “We are very grateful to the Lions club for their very kind donation, as part of the national Baby Lifeline appeal. The Doppler will be a great asset to the team so that unborn babies’ heart rates can be effectively monitored.”
