Maternity team delighted by delicious gift from first-time parents

Staff in the Maternity Unit at Epsom Hospital are enjoying a treat for their taste buds after receiving a very special ‘thank you’ gift from some first-time parents.

Following the birth of their son James, Anna and Michael Davis delivered a very special ‘thank you’ to the team – a gift basket full of chocolate weighing 9lbs 14oz, equivalent to the birth weight of baby James.

Mairead Faughnan, Lead Midwife for Inpatient Services, said: ‘“It is always a great pleasure for us to be part of such an exciting time for a family, especially when they have the joy of welcoming their first child. James was a very healthy weight when he arrived, something which my colleagues and I are particularly grateful for, as we now have a rather lovely selection of chocolate to enjoy!

“On behalf of all the team, I’d like to say a big thank you to Anna and Michael. We were all very touched to receive such a thoughtful present from them – it is such a lovely gesture and making the gift the same weight as James when he arrived made it extra special.”
