Description

St Michaels Hospital was built in 1974 and has historically housed the maternity services that cover the south of the city More recently other services such as ENT and Clinical Genetics have also been developed on this site We are proud of the current services we offer particularly those for women and their babies including gynaecology and cancergynaecology
