Jane Crookall Maternity Unit

The Jane Crookall maternity unit is the only maternity unit on the Island. The first dedicated Island service was realised in 1938 and interestingly also named the Jane Crookall maternity unit. This was possible due to a donation from the Philanthropist Arthur Crookall in memory of his first wife. Three moves later the name remains the same due to an Island wide vote.

Meet the team

Head of Midwifery

Mrs Barbara Roberts

We are happy to introduce Mrs Barbara Roberts as our Head of Midwifery. Barbara joined the Noble's Team in 1997, and became Head of Midwifery in 2019.

Barbara's speciality as a senior midwife was in the area of infant feeding. She is also qualified as a Lactation Consultant and has been instrumental in increasing the Islands breast feeding rates.

Barbara is developing the service for the future, with the families of the Island at its heart. She has a collaborative approach to running the service and is committed to providing high quality, research based care that is inclusive, equitable and women centred.

Senior Midwife

Mrs Regan Baggley


We are happy to introduce Mrs Regan Baggley as our Senior Midwife.
Regan joined Noble's in 2004 as a newly qualified midwife, and became Senior Midwife in 2021.

Regan developed an interest in Diabetes in pregnancy where she assisted with the establishment of the multi-disciplinary Diabetic Antenatal Clinic for the women of the Isle of Man. Prior to commencing her Senior Midwife position, Regan was the Ward Manager for the Jane where she focused on developing high quality inpatient services. This became particularly important when inpatient services had to be remodelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
