The Perinatal and Family Divisions provide a full range of Obstetric, Neonatal, Gynaecology and Paediatric services, both on an inpatient and outpatient basis. The bulk of the maternity work is based at the Royal Oldham Hospital with satellite clinics at Rochdale Infirmary.
The delivery suite is based at Royal Oldham Hospital with a birth rate of approximately 5,000 per year and an adjoining Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

The team works closely with the regional tertiary networks and hospitals in Manchester and Liverpool.
