Wexham Park Hospital takes first step towards Baby Friendly status

Wexham Park Hospital's maternity team has passed the stage one assessment in the Baby Friendly Initiative (BFI).

To pass the assessment, staff had to prove that the right policies, training and environment are in place to deliver the BFI standards. There are three stages to complete before full accreditation, which Wexham Park hopes to achieve in 2021.

The maternity team at Wexham Park's sister hospital, Frimley Park, has already been granted full Baby Friendly status and was reaccredited in 2015, proving that staff at the hospital have maintained the highest standards demanded by Unicef's assessors under the BFI programme.
