District nurses in addition to their general training, have completed a further course to acquire skills and experience to care for people in their own homes.

Community Midwives
Frimley park hospital midwifery team
Mrs Fiona Richmond
The community midwifes will care for those pregnant patients within the surgery from the start of pregnancy to the early postnatal stage. As well as monitoring and supporting through pregnancy they offer details of parent craft classes and other antenatal support. Antenatal and postnatal clinics are also available at Frimley park Hospital should they be needed. The midwives will explain these facilities to you, should it be necessary, which is very rare. Most babies are delivered at Frimley Park Hospital by our community midwives or staff midwifes. The midwives can be contacted via the surgery or via Frimley Park Hospital switch board
