Excellence in care

The very best, personalised care.

We are proud to say that QE Gateshead is the only hospital in the North East to yet again win and retain the top rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC).  This means that our highly skilled, caring team of midwives can offer women and their families the reassurance of knowing they are at the safest place in the North East to have their baby.

We pride ourselves in offering every individual a personalised package of care. We understand that every woman is different and with this in mind, we ensure that we offer you a care package that is tailored to your individual needs. This is your baby and your pathway of care should reflect your choice and the care you expect.

Our unit is consistently rated as one of the best in the country by the National Maternity Survey and was one of only 15 in the country to be given the highest possible rating for maternity risk management standards by the NHS litigation unit.
