Window to the Womb, firstScan and the Miscarriage Association

We direct many women, their partners and wider family members to them in the knowledge that we are directing them to a trusted and professional source of practical information and emotional support. They offer support at any time but in our experience this support is especially useful during what can be an upsetting wait between an appointment at one of our clinics and a hospital or other appointment.

All staff in Window to the Womb clinics are trained in handling the delivery of difficult news and we thank the Miscarriage Association for allowing us to use their specialist training resources as part of this training.
