Popis: The DIAMOND antenatal clinic was established to provide multidisciplinary continuity of care to pregnant women living with morbid (body mass index (BMI) ≥40 kg/mThe aim was to describe clinic processes, demographics, clinical outcomes and women's perceptions of the clinic.Women who received antenatal care in the clinic between 2016 and 2019 (n = 257) had routine data collected for retrospective analysis. A patient satisfaction survey was conducted for women who received care in 2019 (n = 89).The median BMI was 49 kg/mEstablishing a dedicated clinic for women living with high BMI provides a well-liked environment for a high-risk cohort of women. Our review identified opportunities for improvement in clinic processes. We plan to assess overall impact on perinatal outcomes.
