“It would be nice if you meet only three midwives in pregnancy”
At Vida, we work with an enthusiastic and committed team of midwives. Together we have a lot (almost 15 years!) of experience, we are flexible and we work with a lot of fun. So far we are working in two teams of five midwives. Sometimes you see a lot of different faces. We think we could do better.
What’s changing:
-From two big teams to four small teams
–New location in Ganzenhoef for your prenatal checks
We’re going to start in October with working in four smaller teams, with in each team three midwives. We think that care in small teams because of the more personal involvement works better. It’s much easier to talk to a person who you know.
In order to be able to provide better care in the district we start on Friday, October 7th with a clinic in the Medical Center Ganzenhoef (in the old Rochdalegebouw). This means that anyone who lives in the postcode areas in 1102, 1103 and 1104 and will enroll at our practice, now can have their checks closer to home.
What doesn’t change:
-The consultation will remain close to your home.
-The emergency numbers and the team format for your birth
-All echoes at Vida by your own midwife-echographist
We will, the same as we do now, divide the teams into the postcode-area you live in. This means that a consultation location will be close to your home. It also means that you are more limited in the days that you can choose to make an appointment. We will give you the option to schedule appointments well in advance. So your employer can take that into account!
At the consultation we will tell you which team you are in, red, blue, yellow or green. Often you continue to see the midwives that you already know, only there are 2 less than before. We expect and hope that you will be satisfied with these changes!
