How We Choose Your Care Team
Every practitioner within The Tenth is selected through a structured and considered process:
Referral-Led Sourcing
We begin with the networks that London's maternal specialists already trust.
Lead Maternal Team Assessment
Each candidate is evaluated directly by our senior maternal team.
Credential Verification
Qualifications, registrations and clinical history are reviewed as standard.
Bedside Manner
Clinical skill alone is not enough. Warmth, communication and emotional attunement are assessed.
Background Review
Professional conduct and patient outcomes are assessed before any approach is made.
Postpartum Depth
We confirm genuine specialisation in postpartum care, not general practice with a postpartum offering.
This ensures a consistent standard of care across every programme.
Care that is Carefully Matched
Rather than asking you to navigate multiple practitioners, we bring the right specialists to you. It’s a thoughtful process, with practitioners allocated based on your clinical needs, stage of recovery and programme structure.
This ensures that care is seamlessly integrated, consistent and considered.
Extended Access, When Needed
Beyond our core network, additional specialists can be introduced to support more specific or evolving needs.
This may include pelvic floor physiotherapy, osteopathy, energy healing, emotional wellbeing, additional newborn care, and considered personal treatments; for your consideration, where they add value.
Introduced by your care team where clinically appropriate.
One Plan. Every Specialist.
Integrated care. Not isolated treatments.
Most postpartum support is delivered in silos. A lactation consultant who doesn't speak to your pelvic floor physiotherapist. A doula who doesn't know your birth history. Sessions that help in the moment but don't build toward anything.
The Tenth works differently. Every specialist contributing to your recovery operates from the same care plan, informed by the same intake assessment, updated in real time, and overseen by your lead maternal practitioner. What your doula learns informs what your midwife prioritises.
This is what integrated care looks like in practice. Not a promise. A structure.
