Best hospital in Manchester for high risk care/prem baby delivery

Hi all, my first proper post on mumsnet! I had my baby boy at 26+3 with PPROM at 23 weeks. I finally had my birthing reflection where we reviewed a future birth plan with the consultant dr. Moving forwards for any future pregnancy, it would be high risk and consultant led from the start. I was at Homerton in London, which was brilliant, both the obgyn and nicu facilities and teams. However we are looking to move to Manchester in the next year back to my husbands place and for improved quality of life. I have quite a lot of anxiety about leaving homerton where I felt so well looked after and heard. Wondering if others have experience of high risk/prem baby deliveries in or around Manchester? I don't know how to nagivate trying to see a ward/dr/consultant to review a plan at a hospital I prefer before we try to get pregnant. I'd like to feel confident and have a plan in place before trying again. To be honest, before the birth reflection, I had thought i would never try again to not put another baby through that, but I feel positive and confident that risks can be managed (as much as they can). Does anyone have experience or insights? Open to private or NHS suggestions. Any hospitals you'd recommend? Any experiences with particular drs/staff for high risk pregnancy? Much much appreciated!

St Mary's is the hospital for high risk care in Manchester. All hospitals care for high risk women, but this is a specialised unit. Other option would be Liverpool Women's, but obviously much further to travel.

@ThisMustBeMyDream thank you so much! Could I ask, is st Mary's one service for hospitals like MRI and Wythenshawe? Thanks again! I've heard Liverpool has a great centre, but you're right. It's further to go!

St marys has small units like Wythenshawe where you can attend for antenatal care I believe. If you call st marys they would be best placed to explain the service.
