The sessions are open to the public and will be an informal chat with refreshments.

The groups will meet at Ingleside Birth and Community Centre between 4pm and 6pm on Thursday 29 February and Thursday 21 March 2024, with more dates to follow.

Janet Cotton, Director of Midwifery at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust, said:

We are keen to promote home birth as a choice for families within our care and make sure that they have all the information they need so they can make an informed choice.
