Epidurals

This includes a 24-hour low-dose epidural service. The epidurals are patient-controlled, allowing you to control the amount of pain relief you require.

We aim to attend as soon as possible however we sometimes have to prioritise emergencies, so there may be a small delay.

If an anaesthetist is not immediately available, we can offer you other forms of pain relief until they are free to come to you.
