Many women can benefit from a private obstetrics service with the flexibility to fit around your needs. A care plan for your childbirth with an expert can help ensure a positive, gentle experience, while reassuring you that if there are complications, you are in the best hands.
Our private obstetric service is provided by Mr William Dennes and Ms Bryony Jones who both have busy NHS and private practices.
Their specialist interests are:
Complicated pregnancy
Antenatal (or before birth) ultrasound and screening, including the Harmony test
Multiple pregnancy (twins)
Elective caesarean section
High risk obstetrics
Pregnancy care following IVF
Pregnancy in women with hypertension
Gestational diabetes (a condition in which your blood sugar becomes high during pregnancy)
Ultrasound
Non-invasive prenatal testing
Amniocentesis (a medical procedure in which a small amount of amniotic fluid is sampled for testing)
Pregnancy care with previous miscarriage history
Elective caesarean section
Antenatal appointments are generally recommended at
8 weeks to date the pregnancy
12 weeks depending on wishes regarding Down's syndrome screening
20 weeks ‘anomaly’ scan
Scans after this time will be arranged on an as-needed basis or upon patient request.

Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital (Ms Jones, Mr Dennes)
The Lindo Wing, St Mary’s Hospital (Mr Dennes and Ms Jones)
The Portland Hospitals (Mr Dennes)
