Resident Doctors are on strike from 7 - 13 April. Please continue to attend appointments at the hospital unless you are contacted directly to rearrange. Our hospitals will be busy, but we are still here to provide emergency care when you need it.

Haamla Service

We provide essential support to you and your family if you are pregnant and from a minority ethnic community or you are an asylum seekers or refugee.

Haamla Midwifery Team

We will help you to access our maternity services and support you with the different choices available to you during your pregnancy, birth and after your baby is born.

Haamla Support Workers

Bi-lingual Haamla Maternity Support Workers will provide support and information for you about your maternity care choices. This can be at your home, a Children’s Centre or at the hospital. They will support you if you have any social, religious or cultural needs.

Haamla Antenatal Groups

If you are pregnant and you are being supported by our Haamla team, you can come along to our antenatal classes.

The classes will give you information about pregnancy, birth and caring for your baby in a relaxed setting. Interpreters may be at the classes if you need this support.

The classes take place every week:

  • Wednesday – 10:30am to 12:30pm at The Compton Centre, Harehills Lane, LS9 7BG
