This series documents a day-in-the-life of the Queen Mary Maternity Unit at West Middlesex University Hospital, part of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, where photographer James Clifford Kent’s daughter was born in 2020. It captures the experiences of expectant parents cared for by the team at the unit – including midwives, nurses and doctors – and moments that typically go unnoticed in portrayals of maternity care.
