Maternity units at these hospitals, managed by the North Cumbria Integrated Care Foundation Trust, are now open for virtual video tours, courtesy of the Trust. Janet Riley, Matron for maternity services at West Cumberland Hospital, said: Having a virtual tour in place is really important for anyone who is expecting to come to us.

It is such an exciting time for parents to be and we want to make the journey as seamless as possible.
