WANDAS is a specialist team based at King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH), dedicated to caring for women experiencing drug and alcohol issues during pregnancy. The WANDAS team is made up of a number of health professionals including doctors, midwives, social workers, dieticians and mental health professionals.
A pregnancy (antenatal) clinic runs every Friday morning at the East Wing Clinic with a booking clinic on a Wednesday morning where a midwifery-led assessment takes place. Postnatal clinics, for women after their baby has been born, are run on a Wednesday afternoon.
WANDAS will help you and your baby become and stay as healthy as possible during your pregnancy. We will support and care for you and monitor your pregnancy. The purpose is to encourage effective antenatal care for women. There are no conditions of rehabilitation and the focus is on healthy parenting.
