Team Approach

Whether it’s your very first baby or the next addition to a growing family, Integra would be delighted to support you all the way with our True Team approach to care. Newborn services is something we specialise in and there isn’t another newborn paediatric team in Cayman with the accreditation, training & experience that we are privileged to have.

  • Only team with multiple neonatal or newborn specialists, UK-accredited in neonatology
  • Team is led by Dr Sara Watkin, formerly NICU Chief of Service at University College London Hospitals
  • Always on-call and within minutes of the hospitals
  • Team approach means you are always covered

Dr Rob Bomont, Dr Jasmina Marinova, Dr Siobhan James & Dr Sarah Newton represent an extremely experienced team that can support you and your child from advice antenatal, through your delivery, baby checks, early care and all the way onwards to adulthood. First class care without paying a premium and reassuringly calm and competent when nature decides to test us.

Attending Deliveries

We, Dr Sarah Newton, Dr Siobhan Jaques, Dr Rob Bomont & Dr Jasmina Marinova, would be delighted to be your (well, your child’s paediatrician) from birth, right through to a bright future as a healthy young adult. As a team, we are unique in Cayman, being the practice with three UK- or Australasian-qualified & accredited newborn (neonatal) specialists, ensuring not only the right experience if nature throws a curve ball but also, as a team, providing you with the security of knowing we are here at the right moment. We attend all types of deliveries and work closely with every private obstetrician in Cayman to provide the highest quality newborn services. Although we are all senior specialists, with exceptional credentials, our charges for attending delivery are actually comparable to others. We’d be delighted to be there for your special time.

We attend the following types of delivery:

  • Normal deliveries, where the parents have decided they would like a newborn paediatrician present (in case of complications or for reassurance/ preference)
  • Caesarean sections (C-Sections), where having a newborn paediatrician present is mandatory in Cayman (because of the increased complication rate)
  • Pretty much all complicated scenarios or preterm births occuring in private patients

Dr Marinova, Dr Rob Bomont & Dr Newton, both formally neonatal trained, representing a True Team for newborn care. We’d love to meet you and we offer free antenatal appointments to discuss deliveries from the paediatric perspective. Please just call on (345) 745 7450 or complete the form below and we’ll handle the rest.

Neonatologist Versus Paediatrician

Historically, newborn and neonatal care was performed by a paediatrician. However, the highly specialist nature of neonatal and preterm care means that in In the UK, neonatal care is rarely provided by a more general paediatrician and instead is provided by newborn specialists, called neonatologists. We have built a team of neonatal-trained staff, providing a medical care standard equivalent to the best centres in the world, something we are very proud of. The primary reason why most choose to have a paediatrician present at birth, and why it’s mandated at caesarean sections, is because of unexpected complications. Given nature’s tendency to decide the timing, it’s also very difficult for a single paediatrician practice to know for sure they’ll be available just when needed. With Integra, you will always have your chosen paediatrician in attendance whenever humanly possible, but on the occasions they may be off island (always planned & communicated), you have the reassurance they will have comprehensively handed over to their equally competent newborn-specialising paediatric colleagues. You have the reassurance of knowing your paediatrician has the right credentials. In the UK, that means being formally accredited in that specialist care by the GMC (on the specialist register).
