Questions & Feedback
Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust is well prepared to deal with the impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) and we are working closely with our local and national partner agencies to ensure our patients, public and staff remain safe.
We realise that this is a worrying time for you and your families. Therefore we have developed our Covid-19 Information Hub to keep you updated with the latest advice and guidance as well as details of any restrictions we have in place at the hospital.
Please scroll below to select an item from the menu for the latest information.
As this is a fast-moving situation the information contained in this hub may change at short notice. Please keep visiting this section of our website at regular intervals to stay up to date on any new announcements.
Covid-19 vaccine information for patients
The first phase of the NHS Covid-19 vaccination programme has started.
When it is the right time people will receive an invitation to come forward.
For most people this will be a letter, either from their GP or the national NHS.
This letter will include all the information you will need to book appointments, including your NHS number.
Please do not contact the NHS to get an appointment until you get this letter.
For the latest advice and guidance on the Covid-19 vaccine please refer to the following website. Any further updates that are specific to Liverpool Women's Hospital will be added to this page in due course: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/coronavirus-vaccine/
Advice for pregnant women, women trying to become pregnant and those who are breastfeeding can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-vaccination-women-of-childbearing-age-currently-pregnant-planning-a-pregnancy-or-breastfeeding
If you are pregnant you can also refer to this helpful information leaflet from the Royal College of Midwives, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and others by CLICKING HERE.
If you are concerned about the impact of the vaccine on fertility, please see the following advice from the Royal College of Midwives and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists https://www.rcog.org.uk/en/news/RCOG-and-RCM-respond-to-misinformation-around-Covid-19-vaccine-and-fertility/
How our services are currently affected
This is a fast-changing situation. Please keep visiting this page where we will announce any changes to the way our services are operating.
Unless you are advised otherwise, your existing appointments will be going ahead as normal. If there is any change to this the Trust will contact you in advance to let you know.
Community Midwifery: clinics are still running, however patients are advised not to bring any family members with you to the GP Surgery, Children's Centre or Hospital during this time.
Gynaecology Emergency Department (GED): Telephone triage line introduced for Gynaecology Emergency Department - call 0151 702 4140
If you have an acute gynaecological or early pregnancy problem, call 0151 702 4140 to speak to a member of our nursing team. The nurse will assess your problem and where appropriate will arrange for you to either be seen immediately in the Emergency Department, to receive a call back from a doctor or nurse practitioner or arrange for you to attend a see and treat appointment in our Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit.
Occasionally, there are long waiting times to speak to a member of the nursing team. We apologise for this and are working to improve the service. If your symptoms are not severe, please keep trying.
If you are unable to access the service, particularly if you have severe pain or heavy bleeding, please attend Liverpool Women's and you will be directed to the GED.
Gynaecology Elective Activity: From the 1st June Liverpool Women's Gynaecology started to recommence some of it's elective activity. This will be a phased approach with patient attendance/ appointment numbers restricted to ensure social distancing measures and other safety measures in relation to Covid-19 are adhered to within the hospital. The hospital will contact you in advance of your outpatient or inpatient appointments being scheduled as part of this phased re-opening of our elective services.
Oncology: Our cancer clinics and surgery will continue to run and there are no plans at present to step down or suspend these services. Every measure is being taken to ensure that critical cancer care continues to be delivered in the safest and most efficient way to protect our patients and our staff during this difficult time.
- We will be conducting follow-up clinics via telephone or virtually wherever possible.
- Necessary face-to-face appointments will be structured into a one-stop model as far as possible, to minimise time spent on the hospital site.
- Cancer surgery lists may change at short notice due to the pressures arising from COVID-19. Our appointments team will be in contact should this affect you.
If you were due to attend for a cancer appointment, you will be contacted directly with further details of what this means for you.
If you are due to attend for an appointment or for surgery, our team will contact you the day before your appointment for COVID-19 screening. If you have symptoms, or are self-isolating as a member of your household has symptoms, then we will reschedule your appointment for when you are well again and able to attend hospital. This is to ensure your safety and wellbeing, as well as that of our staff and other patients.
Termination of Pregnancy: The Bedford Centre is currently running a primarily telephone-based service. If a scan or a face-to-face appointment is required, this will be advised in your telephone consultation.
If it is determined that you need to attend in person, then unless you are under 16 or need a carer unfortunately your support person will need to wait outside the hospital building. This is to minimise the number of people coming in and out of the building.
The primary option offered for termination of pregnancy will be outpatient medical management. What this means for you will be discussed in your telephone consultation.
To make an appointment, please contact the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) on 03457 30 40 30.
A Information leaflet for patients undergoing early medical termination of pregnancy is available here to download.

The Liverpool Centre for Genomic Medicine: The Liverpool Centre for Genomic Medicine is working hard to ensure that for all patients, that it is appropriate for, we offer a telephone or virtual clinic appointment during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, many of our patients will need to be seen in person and those patients will receive a letter to let them know that their appointment will be arranged once we are able to offer face to face appointments again.
For patients with rare diseases there is some excellent information leaflets available from the charity Unique: https://www.rarechromo.org/ and from the British Society of Genomic Medicine:
An overview of Covid-19 and rare disease
What makes a person more vulnerable to Covid-19?
Understanding your risk from Covid-19 id you have a rare disease
What should I do if I am an extremely vulnerable person?
What to do if you have symptoms that could be due to Covid-19
I am worried about letting my carer/my child's carers into my home - what should I do?
We know that recent events have been worrying and challenging for everyone. To keep our patients, visitors and staff safe, we will be doing things a little differently from now on. Please be assured that we are doing this to keep you safe and we will support you along the way. Here are the things you need to know before your next visit to Liverpool Women's…
We ask that you continue to respect people's personal space by staying at least 2 metres apart from others. Please also follow our floor markings and signage to help with this.
Most patients, visitors and staff will now be required to wear face coverings in the hospital to keep everyone safe. This will be explained to you before you enter and you will be supported to put them on correctly.
Importance of cleanliness
We will be increasing our cleaning measures and we ask that you do the same by washing your hands often and using our hand sanitisers when entering and leaving different areas.
As we try to get our services back to normal we need to do this safely. This means that some services may have to run at a reduced capacity and this could affect waiting times.
Access to the hospital will continue to be limited as much as possible so please be aware that you may be asked to explain your reason for visiting before you are allowed to enter.
Patient visiting
We know visiting is very important to patients, families and friends. However to keep everyone safe we currently have visiting restrictions in place. These are reviewed regularly and we will announce any changes on our website.
Here are some other measures we have in place to keep you safe...
Access to the hospital, face coverings, and swab tests
Covid-19 will remain a risk to us all for the foreseeable future. We understand that this is a difficult time and that the restrictions that we have in place and the amount of information being communicated can be overwhelming at times.
We would like to summarise here the main things that you need to be aware of and the expectations we have of you to work with us by following the below guidelines to keep everyone safe.
General information about accessing the hospital
When entering the hospital you will have your temperature checked and you will be asked some questions about any Covid-19 related symptoms.
You will be expected to wear a face covering. If you do not have a face covering of your own you will be given a face mask.
Unless you are given special permission you must not leave and re-enter the building once inside - you will be expected to stay inside the building until you are ready to leave following your appointment or procedure. Leaving and re-entering the building for non-essential reasons (e.g. to collect takeaway food deliveries) will not be allowed.
Follow the directional signage in the hospital to maintain social distancing at all times and avoid standing in high footfall areas such as corridors.
Please maintain good hand hygiene at all times by washing your hands regularly and making use of hand sanitisers when entering and leaving each area of the hospital.
We ask you to respect staff that you come into contact with and understand that aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
The hospital shop and Costa Coffee are available for patients and visitors along with vending machines however the Just Deli restaurant is currently restricted for staff use only.
When you leave the hospital please dispose of your face mask in the clinical waste stations and remember to sanitise your hands.
If you are feeling unwell at any time when you are within the hospital with Covid-19 symptoms, please speak to a member of staff straight away.
Attending for an appointment
When attending for an appointment access into the hospital will not be allowed until 10 minutes prior to your appointment time.
Covid-19 swab tests
We understand that many women and support partners are choosing to have a Covid-19 test in community settings as part of the mass testing programme in Liverpool, prior to coming into Liverpool Women's Hospital. Some women and support partners are choosing to decline a Covid-19 test in the hospital on the assumption that a recent test in the community means it is not a requirement. Please be aware that this is not the case. Regardless of whether or not you have had a Covid-19 test in the community recently, you will still be expected to have a COVID swab as part of your admission process when you come into Liverpool Women's Hospital and it is important that you accept it. The reason for this is that we need to conduct our own Covid-19 tests when you come into the hospital so we can be clear about the exact time and date of when you have had your test for the safety of you, other women, support partners and our staff.
All women requiring admission into hospital are offered to be screened for Covid-19. This is strongly advised by the Trust not only for everyone's safety but also in order to avoid additional measures being required for access to certain areas of the hospital.
If a woman declines screening, despite a discussion regarding the requirements and benefits for screening, she must be advised that if her baby requires admission to the Neonatal Unit she will be required to wear PPE at all times when attending the unit.
All birth/ support partners are now required to accept a Covid-19 swab in order to be able to accompany their partner throughout labour / birth and the immediate period after birth.
If you are a birth/ support partner and refuse to accept a Covid-19 swab without any justifiable reason, you will only be permitted to support your partner during established labour (this excludes induction of labour) and you will also be asked to leave the hospital shortly after the baby's birth. In addition, you will be required to wear PPE at all times including a face mask, apron and gloves.
If you have any reason or underlying condition that makes you exempt from receiving a swab, please inform us prior to coming into the hospital so we can make any necessary arrangements.
Face coverings in communal areas of the hospital
All patients and visitors should be wearing a face covering when entering the hospital.
The requirement to wear face coverings is being introduced to protect patients, visitors and staff across the hospital site.
Examples of locations where you should be wearing face coverings include reception and waiting areas, corridors, toilets, when queueing in the hospital cafes, and in the hospital shop.
Patients will be advised by staff in individual clinical areas about whether or not they will need to wear a mask during clinical procedures or other appointments. Please keep your mask on unless advised otherwise by a member of staff.
Face coverings should either be disposable after use or washed within 24 hours if they are re-usable.
There will be a disposal station located near the main entrance of the Trust for safe disposal of masks when you are leaving the hospital.
You will now find clear floor and wall signage across the hospital for wayfinding and directions. Please keep to the left when walking along hospital corridors and maintain social distancing (2 metre distance) at all times from other patients, visitors and staff.
There will be an increased supply of hand sanitisers for use before and after removal of masks and face coverings. Please also make use of hand sanitisers across the hospital site when entering and leaving all areas.
Staff will be on-hand to provide advice and support at main entrance areas.
Wearing of face coverings in clinical settings
For women attending antenatal scans (12 week, 20 week, and FMU scans) with their support partner, you will both be expected to wear a face covering. Women or support partners who have an underlying health issue that prevents them from being able to wear a face covering should make our sonography team aware before coming to the hospital for your scan appointment – please refer to the contact details on your appointment letter. This will allow any necessary arrangements to be made to protect you and our staff in advance. Please note if there is no justifiable reason for not wearing a face covering or if you have not made the sonography team aware in advance that you are exempt, support partners will not be allowed to enter the scanning room.
Women and support partners are expected to wear face coverings at all times when in communal areas of the hospital. Face coverings should fully cover your nose and mouth and only be removed if advised by a member of staff or when eating or drinking.
All birthing rooms are individual rooms and birth partners must wear a face covering when any members of staff are present in the birthing room. Birth partners may remove their face covering if they wish to do so only when they and their partner are alone in the room.
If a woman requires a procedure in theatre, birth partners must wear a fluid resistant surgical mask provided by the hospital at all times on route to theatre, within the theatre complex and the recovery area.
Women who are admitted to the induction suite and their birth partners must wear a face covering when any members of staff are present at the bedside or anyone is within a 2 metre distance when caring for you.
You can wear your own face covering or if you do not have one you will be provided with a face mask on entry to the hospital.
If you have any reason or underlying condition that makes you exempt from wearing a face covering, please inform us prior to coming into the hospital so we can make any necessary arrangements, such as alternative PPE. Please contact the relevant department you are attending in advance and they can make the necessary arrangements for you.
If you are a support partner accompanying a women who is in the hospital to have their baby and you refuse to wear a face covering for any reason other than a health condition, you will only be permitted to support your partner once established labour is confirmed (this excludes induction of labour) and you will also be asked to leave the hospital shortly after the baby's birth.
We ask for everyone's compliance with these measures to keep our women, newborn babies, families and staff safe and to protect us all from Covid-19.
Thank you for your support and co-operation.
Visiting restrictions in place
Updated 21st January 2021
As you will be aware, on 4th January 2021 the Prime Minister announced that England has now entered a further national lockdown.
Following a review of the measures we have in place we can confirm that access to the hospital for visitors and support partners currently remains unchanged to the updates we introduced in December 2020. Below you will find more details on the measures we have in place for each service within the hospital.
Please note that this will be reviewed regularly given the current national situation. We would also like to add that whilst the Trust aims to follow national guidance for visiting and support as closely as possible, our decisions are based on local risk assessments. We have introduced changes safely where possible and those that we are unable to accommodate at present are reviewed regularly.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding during these difficult times.
Maternity Visiting Policy
Pregnant women are now permitted to attend their 12 week scan (NT or dating scan) and 20 week (anomaly) scan with ONE other person.
Appointments at our Fetal Medicine Unit (FMU), will now allow for ONE support partner to attend all FMU scan appointments.
ONE support partner is now permitted to accompany women during the whole period of labour from arrival at the hospital including induction of labour.
When attending the hospital for labour and birth, your support partner will be invited to accompany you to the hospital and remain with you throughout your birth until your transfer to the postnatal wards. Support partners who decline swabbing will not be allowed access to our postnatal areas, birth partners pending a result, will be asked to wear a mask within our postnatal areas.
Women undergoing an elective caesarean section will attend the hospital and will be admitted to the elective caesarean section admissions lounge. A woman's chosen support partner will not be able to attend the Admissions Lounge but will be contacted prior to transfer to theatre to enable them to enter the hospital and accompany their partner to theatre for the birth. This is because the current layout of the Admissions Lounge does not allow for appropriate social distancing. Following the delivery of your baby in theatres, you will be moved to recovery where your partner will remain with you. On transfer to the maternity ward your chosen support partner, pending they have received a negative or outstanding Covid-19 swab results, may attend with you and will be able to remain with you for 2 hours. Your support partner will then be able to visit you on the following day by making the appropriate appointment.
ONE support partner is now permitted in the inpatient antenatal and postnatal areas for visiting. Your support partner will already be known to us for postnatal visiting, and will have gone through our swabbing and surveillance programme. For antenatal visits, a nominated support partner will need to be identified prior to visiting and COVID swabbing will be required to be undertaken prior to admission for the first visit. The named support partner should be the same bubble as you, we are asking that your named support partner arrange their visiting slot in advance.
To clarify for all visiting and support whilst you are in our care, only ONE support partner is permitted and this must be the same person for all subsequent visits – multiple support partners/visitors are not permitted.
Visiting in the inpatient antenatal and postnatal areas (Maternity ward and Jeffcoate wards) will be permitted between the following sessions: 11:00 – 14:00 and 16:00 - 19:00. Visiting will be restricted to one 3 hour visit per day and will need to be booked in advance to obtain a designated time slot. This is to reduce the volume of footfall of visitors within the area throughout the day ensuring safety for women and their babies.
To book a visiting appointment for visiting both on Jeffcoate and the Maternity Base, call 0151 702 4064 between the hours of 08.30-16.00.
If making a request between the hours of 16:00 - 08.30 this should be made via Email using: maternityvisiting@lwh.nhs.uk Please include within the Email details your name, contact number, the name of who you are visiting and your preferred time to visit. A member of the maternity team will contact you by email or phone before 09:30hrs to confirm your appointment or to offer an alternative slot if your preferred time is not available.
Please note that at present visiting appointment requests can only be made one day at a time – block bookings for set times each day will not be possible. You will be required to contact us each day to book individual appointments.
There are no changes to attendances to the Maternity Assessment Unit. Women will continue to attend the unit on their own. If a decision is made to admit to the Delivery Suite or the MLU, the nominated support partner will then be able to attend. If a woman requires admission to the antenatal ward (Maternity base) the booking process is the same as identified as above.
Women who have suffered the loss of a baby will be able to receive support from their main nominated support partner initially and staff will also provide bereavement support. In the period after the loss of a baby, two nominated support partners will be able to support women when they are in the care of our Honeysuckle Team – this will normally be limited to a baby's parents and/or grandparents. We do also politely ask that the two chosen support partners remain the same two people however staff will discuss any specific arrangements or requests in more detail with women and families privately.
Support partners are currently not permitted to accompany women to any other clinic appointments and this is for both hospital and community appointments.
We request that once support partners enter the hospital that they stay inside for the full period of their visit. If you intend to purchase food or other items from somewhere other than the hospital, please bring them with you when you arrive. You will not be permitted to exit and re-enter the hospital in the same period unless there are exceptional circumstances.
Unless stated otherwise above, unfortunately the Trust cannot currently accommodate any more than one visitor/support partner at any one time due to social distancing limitations within Maternity areas of the hospital.
Please note that no children are permitted to enter the hospital for any appointments (unless they are a patient) or for any visiting.
Neonatal Visiting Policy
The Neonatal Unit will now allow TWO parents/significant others to visit at a time. We ask that those parents visiting from home limit visits to the hospital to once a day unless in exceptional circumstances.
If a baby being cared for on the Neonatal Unit is being tested for – or has tested positive for – Covid-19, some visiting restriction measures will be introduced. This will be discussed with families individually.
Restrictions remain in place for siblings and other family members visiting the unit and this is unlikely to change for the foreseeable future. We do realise this may be upsetting for some but it is paramount that we keep our babies, families and staff well and protected from Covid-19.
To ensure that we continue to maintain the highest standards of infection control we need to ensure that you as parents fully understand the precautions you must take to help us maintain these standards so we can keep visiting open for parents. Parents will be asked to read and sign a declaration form to reflect this when entering the unit for the first time.
Gynaecology Visiting Policy
Current restrictions for Gynaecology services will remain in place for now.
The majority of visiting has been suspended for Gynaecology patients on the Gynaecology Unit and for clinic appointments, including our Bedford Clinic. The only exception to this will be for any patients who are end of life, patients who are age 18 years and under and patients who have a learning disability or dementia where they may require support from a family member or carer. In these circumstances a member of staff will discuss visiting options with family member and/or carers.
No child policy
Children are not permitted to attend the hospital site for any visiting or to accompany anyone to appointments.
Children are only permitted to access the hospital site if they are a patient with an appointment.
Exceptions to visiting access
Temporary restrictions to visiting will be introduced in the following circumstances:
If a patient or visitor has tested positive for Covid-19.
If a visitor has Covid-19 symptoms when visiting the hospital.
If a visitor is isolating as a contact of someone who is Covid-19 positive.
If a visitor has been contacted by NHS Test and Trace to say they have been in contact with a Covid-19 positive patient.
If a visitor is shielding.
If there is a reported staff outbreak of Covid-19 in specific areas of the hospital.
If any geographical outbreak of Covid-19 or local restrictions introduced requiring stricter measures to control footfall in and out of the hospital is viewed by the Trust to be too high risk if cases continue to rise.
Please do not attend the hospital unless you are the patient, birth partner or parents of a baby on the Neonatal Unit
Please do not attend the hospital unless you are the patient, the birth partner or the parent of a baby in the neonatal unit.
This means that children and friends/family members will not be allowed to stay in areas such as main reception during visiting times. The only person permitted entry to the hospital during visiting is the individual visiting a patient. Members of staff across the Trust have been made aware of this policy and anyone attempting to access the hospital who is not visiting a patient will be asked to leave or will be refused entry entirely.
Any families or patients who wish to receive support from a member of our Chaplaincy Team will be able to access this but please make arrangements with a member of staff on the ward/unit so this can be arranged in the safest way.
Social Workers/Carers/Advocates/Community Staff
Any patient requiring visitation from external NHS staff or partner agencies will need to be contacted directly. If face to face visitation is unavoidable please contact the Trust Safeguarding Team on 0151 702 4181 (during office hours), out of hours please contact Switchboard 0151 708 9988 and ask to be put through to the bleep holder for the division you require (Maternity / Neonatal etc).
Any professional meetings required (discharge meetings, strategy meetings etc) need to be co-ordinated through the Trust Safeguarding Team in a timely manner as possible.
Maternity Services - Information for women and birth partners
We would like to provide you with as much information as possible about our current situation regarding our maternity services.
We understand that this is a worrying time for everybody and we hear your concerns about how care will continue to be provided throughout your pregnancy, birth and subsequent care for you and your baby. There is no evidence that pregnant women are more likely to contract COVID-19 than anyone else, and there is no evidence to suggest that they would develop more serious complications than any other person.
You will continue to receive antenatal and postnatal appointments. Some of these consultations maybe completed virtually in order to promote social distancing. Your named community midwife will contact you regarding any changes.
It is important that you attend all of these appointments unless you are advised differently by us to ensure we can continue to monitor you and your baby's health and wellbeing. You will be contacted directly by the midwife or by the hospital if your appointment is required to be rescheduled
If you are experiencing symptoms of Coronavirus but are otherwise well and in self isolation (a high temperature/ new continuous cough/ a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste) please contact the Maternity assessment unit via the hospital switchboard on 0151 708 9988, and choose option 2 to speak directly to a midwife who will be able to provide you with individualised advice which may include rescheduling your appointment to facilitate safety of mothers and babies. Maternity teams are used to helping women and families who contract viruses during pregnancy
We remain committed to supporting all birth options; including homebirth, Midwifery Led Unit and main Delivery Suite. If you already have a planned induction of labour or an elective Caesarean section this will go ahead as scheduled.
Call us immediately if you have abdominal pain, bleeding or your baby's normal movement's change or you have any other worries.
Our hospital is well prepared to look after you and your baby and our staff are following strict infection control measures in line with government guidance to make sure that you are protected. This includes wearing protective clothing including facemasks. Please do not let this worry you, it is to protect you and them.
If you have urgent concerns about your baby's health it is very important that you call us straight away. We will be able to advise whether or not you need to come and see us. You should also continue to come in for your antenatal appointments and scans.
All our maternity staff are always here to help, and are available for advice and support whenever you need it. We will endeavour to provide you with the most up to date information relating to pregnancy and birth.
For further information please follow the link to the joint guidance from the Royal College of Midwives and the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Baby Lifeline have also produced three posters for advice and support during and after pregnancy. Click here for information on pregnancy, birth and after-birth support during Covid-19.
Advice for women attending scans
From Monday 14th September 2020, pregnant women are permitted to attend their 12 week scan (NT or dating scan) and 20 week (anomaly) scan with ONE other person.
Unfortunately, at the moment you are not allowed to bring your birth partner to growth scans inc those taking place in the FMU. Growth scans can happen anytime from 24 - 40 weeks and they may be done in imaging or FMU. These are normally routine and there is a huge number of them carried out each week, therefore it would impact on social distancing should we allow for partners to attend all of these appointments. However, please note this is being reviewed.
Please note that due to the current COVID-19 situation in Liverpool and the surrounding area, the Trust may be required to re-introduce restrictions at short notice.
For all other scan appointments and face to face consultations in early pregnancy clinic and the antenatal clinic, women are still expected to attend alone due to social distancing requirements.
Children are not permitted to accompany anyone to appointments.
Please follow the below information in advance of attending scan appointments.
The individual accompanying a pregnant woman to a scan should ideally be their nominated birth partner but can be someone else if they are not available for the appointment however they should ideally come from the same household or bubble.
The person accompanying a pregnant woman to a scan will be required to follow the same procedures as patients before entering the hospital. This will include your temperature being taken and a short number of symptom check questions being asked. If you have any symptoms or a high temperature you will not be allowed to enter the hospital and you will be advised to go home and self-isolate in line with national guidance.
When entering the hospital you will both be required to wear a face covering. A face mask will be provided if you do not come with your own.
Pregnant women are encouraged to have an alternative person ready to accompany them to their scan at short notice in case their preferred choice is unable to enter due to Covid-19 related symptoms.
Liverpool Women's will be maintaining a 2 metre social distancing rule until further notice. Please follow the signage and wayfinding and respect our social distancing measures when on the hospital site.
We are still unable to give permission for any filming or recording of scans on smart phones or other devices. This decision follows the Society of Radiographers and British Medical Ultrasound Society Guidance.
For women who are unable to have a person accompany them to a scan, a photograph of the scan will continue to be provided free of charge until further notice.
In addition if you choose to find out the gender of your baby at your anomaly scan the sonographer will be able to write this down and keep it in an envelope so you can open it and share that special moment with your partner and/or friends and family.
All arrangements and any restrictions that have been put in place at Liverpool Women's over recent months are there to help prevent the spread of infection and protect our patients, staff and visitors. These will continue to be reviewed and may change again at short notice if required.
Visiting access for support partners
Please select the 'visiting restrictions in place' tab from the menu above for full details on access for support partners.
Birth Registrations
The General Registry Office has issued an instruction across the country that all birth registrations should be deferred due to the pandemic. The birth registration team based at LWH has therefore been suspended until further notice. Women should therefore be directed to review the Liverpool City Council Website: www.liverpool.gov.uk for further instructions and updates on the current situation. Please avoid contacting our Registry office direct. Please note that the lack of a birth certificate will not prevent the baby being registered with a GP or for the parents to claim any benefits or support.
Liverpool City Council would like to thank you for your support in this matter.
Postnatal advice

Maternity Contacts
If you require urgent assistance or advice you can contact the Maternity Assessment unit via the hospital switchboard on 0151 708 9988, and choose option 1. The Maternity assessment unit is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
If you have any concerns regarding your pregnancy or baby that are non-urgent please contact your community midwife between the hours of 08:30- 16:30 alternatively you can contact the Maternity Assessment unit via the hospital switchboard on 0151 708 9988, and choose option 2.
Additional advice for Birth Partners
On attendance to the maternity unit, all birth partners will be asked whether they have had any symptoms which could suggest COVID-19 in the preceding seven days. If the onset of these symptoms was 10 days or less ago, or they still have symptoms (other than persistent cough), they should be asked to leave the maternity unit immediately and self-isolate at home.
Can I attend the hospital with my partner when she is giving birth?
We do have some restrictions on visiting hours; however, we appreciate that the birth of a baby is an important life event and we are encouraging all birth partners who currently have no symptoms of COVID-19 to attend during labour and for the birth. Birth partners are asked to remain by the woman's bedside and not to walk around the ward/hospital. You will be given clear guidance on what is expected of you if your partner requires care in the operating theatre (e.g. for Caesarean section).
Should I attend if I have had household contact with a person with symptoms?
Current government advice is that anyone who has been in contact with a household member with possible symptoms of COVID-19 should self-isolate for 14 days, even if they do not have symptoms themselves
If you are a birth partner and are within the 14-day isolation period, provided you have no symptoms yourself, we welcome you to attend for the labour, birth and for a short period after the birth. After the birth you should leave the maternity unit, go straight home and continue your period of self-isolation. We would ask that you wear the mask provided to you and we will advise you about how to use this.
If you have any symptoms of possible COVID-19, you should be at home. If you are in the 14 day self-isolation period it is very important that you advise us of this before coming to the unit.
What visiting restrictions are there for birth partners?
To reduce any unnecessary risk of transmission to mums, babies and staff we are restricting visitors, including birth partners, at all times apart from induction, labour and birth. Visiting is also restricted in some other situations, for example, assessments of possible signs of labour e.g. waters breaking but no contractions. You could be asked to wait until a decision has been made about admission, before coming into the unit yourself. If your partner is in early labour, admission may not be necessary.
What will happen if I have symptoms of COVID-19 or develop them after my partner has been admitted in labour?
It is essential that you advise a member of our staff if you develop:
A high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
A new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual.
A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
If you develop symptoms, we will ask you to return home and self-isolate We appreciate that this would be extremely disappointing and hope that you understand the importance of taking these measures. We strongly advise that you identify an alternative birth partner who can take your place, just in case you do start to develop symptoms.
We would really appreciate your understanding at this difficult time.
If you have any queries about these restrictions ask to speak to a senior member of the midwifery team.

Contact Us - Family Liaison Service
We know that now is a very difficult time for the women, patients and families who are accessing our services and we understand that you will have many concerns relating to coronavirus (Covid-19). To support you to overcome some of the challenges that have impacted on Liverpool Women's services, such as the restricted visiting currently in place, we have launched a dedicated Family Liaison Service to hopefully help make things a little easier for you.
Our Family Liaison Service is here to address any concerns women and patients have before coming into hospital, as well as helping families and friends to keep in touch when you are separated.
The Family Liaison Service consists of members of our Patient Experience Team, who will also have access to a number of clinicians who are on hand to provide any general advice, support and reassurance.
As well as offering general reassurance and advice before you come to hospital, you can also speak to the team to let them know of any assistance you require, or issues you have that may be made more difficult without having a friend or family member to support you while you are with us.
When you are receiving care at the hospital, you can contact the team if you have any questions or queries. You can also contact the team if there is any assistance you need during your stay and we will endeavour to help you to get the support needed. Your friends or family can also contact the team to pass on any messages if you encounter any difficulty keeping in touch directly.
Put simply, the Family Liaison Service is here to try to help with anything that will make your experience at Liverpool Women's as comfortable as possible at this difficult time and if we can help you we will do our upmost to do it.
You can contact the team any time online if you have any worries or questions and the team will be available to respond between 09:00 – 17:00, Monday to Friday. There will also be members of the team available intermittently on Saturday and Sunday.
You can contact us in the following ways:
Phone 0151 702 4353 (if you have to leave a message then the team will get back to you as soon as they can)
Email pals@lwh.nhs.uk
You can also contact us via the Trust's Facebook and Twitter accounts, your messages will be passed on and a member of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.

The Register Office at St George's Hall reopened for the registration of births on Thursday, 11th June. Liverpool City Council have advised us they have over 2000 babies waiting to be registered, therefore they are taking a staged approach, based on the babies dates of birth, so that they register oldest babies first. At present they are unable to predict how long it will take them to work through this backlog.
Please keep checking Liverpool City Council website for the most up to date information.
Unfortunately, until the backlog is addressed, on-site registry remains unavailable.
Separate arrangements are being made with our Honeysuckle families.

Through the Woods, Darkly
Tales from the Arch, July 2010
Amy's tale
On a dark and misty night, there was a girl named Amy. She had golden hair and emerald green eyes. She saw a gate and it shone in the glistening marsh. Beside it a flower, a rainbow and a princess. "This is rainbow magic!" Aurelia, who was a fairy princess, waved her magic wand and made a castle to live in. They stayed in the garden and did some jumping. And the fairy made some dinner and she made a cake. After tea the daisy un-tucked its roots, shuffled over and gave them a cuddle.
Amy's hair was growing....long, golden – reached her feet – down the road it grew, past the cottage that had once been her home. Looking behind her, she threw the comb over her shoulder. She turned to the castle. Her hand stretched out towards the door latch. Could she – should she – would she go in? (Inside) Jack Frost had a captured a magic pet from fairy land and the ugly sisters were trying on shoes. "Once upon a time there was a girl called Cinderella and she had two ugly sisters and a wicked step mother" recited a toad. "I' can't believe it!" cried Amy "I'm in a fairytale!"
They lived happily ever after.
Walking in the park
One Summer's morning Oriana was walking through HC Park. It seemed peculiar to see an elf in lederhosen sing Rule Britannia word perfect. A black and white horse with one blue eye galloped away.
"A hill-full, a hole-full, you cannot catch a bowl-full. But not for long!" (The elf) cackled. And with a swish of his giant umbrella he disappeared over the wall.
"Good-bye, I may meet with you again but also I may not!"
Just at that moment a ray of sunshine penetrated the leaves and illuminated a golden orb. A prince kissed his princess sweetly and tenderly. "When I climb upon my horse" he murmured, "my magic rocking horse....I am a yellow plum". Oriana's heart felt like it might burst out of her chest. "The secret" she said to herself, "just say "yes".
Happily ever after, perhaps!
The Rain Puppy
There was a fairy called Kate and she had a rain puppy. But the rain came to the cows and the little puppy got lost in the forest... it was only when she saw the tail disappear that she knew she must follow.
The path meandered between the tall, towering trees, woven for life, a hedgerow for every season. The white dog shimmered in the moonlight.
So she woke her Dad up and said "I saw a fox in the forest, and I'm scared suddenly."
"Help me, help me, help me," said the fox, "or the huntsmen will shoot me dead".
Slowly the trees creaked, and reached out, their branches snagging on the fusty fur of the fox. The wind rumbled and the trees closed on the fox, then they returned to their dull swaying and the fox had gone. But where was the puppy?
There was a tree growing strong and tall that bore fruit of a hundred different kinds. All kinds of enchatments, of berry and grass, unicorns, the surprise of light in..... forming a shape beyond. A giant gourd composed of many ants, They saw the tree and dug underneath a pile of leaves. And as Kate's spade dug into the earth, a vivid rainbow sprang out of the ground and shot into the sky.
Suddenly the little girl fell in a deep hole. There was a crash and a flash. "Oh no, I've fallen in!"
They're stuck. How can they get out?
"Help, help!" They shouted.
Mmmmm. The End.
Witch Holiday
Witches get tired of "witching" sometimes, and long for a holiday. The stars shimmered overhead like diamonds; it was a magical night for a trip. The train went all the way to the end of the line at a big beach, where there were lots of passengers waiting to get on. There was another beach at the other end of the track.
One witch paddled her bony feet. And she waited in the darkness, but her bat never came back.
And the tallest, thinnest, darkest witch carried on stirring the huge silver pot with the long, long yellow nail on her long, long, l o n g middle finger, while all around her gleamed in the darkness a thousand pairs of eyes that blinked and stared and blinked and stared and stared at the witch, and her pot and her long, long, l o n g yellow nail.
An old woman prodded her grandson. "Isn't that a bit old to believe in witches, Sonny?" And the grandma tried kung fu and broke her leg.
"I'll never stamp on any creature ever again", said an old man, as he slipped down a frog's throat.
Once upon a time, upon a time, upon a time, or third time lucky?
Once upon a time, upon a time, upon a time, or third time lucky? Two meet three times – or is it by chance?
And the willow wood arch unfolded to reveal a place of magic and delight and much laughter and love.
She shimmered in the soft moonlight, and her smile lit up the dark owl-haunted grove. And the devil played distorted rhythms on her heart strings and the red notes flew over her head. The dancing lasted long after midnight.
She ran and ran until she got the end. A stop where she could look up and see spears of moonlight. Suddenly she looked round and she wasn't there.
The faster she ran the louder the sound became. A wild high pitched sound wailing, whistling rhythmically. It possessed her and she danced the night away until she fell on the moist, mossy earth and slept.
She opened her eyes and found that she was sitting on a beautiful Eastern carpet, gliding through the air, straight for the steeple.
"Wow" said Annabelle. "That was the best day of my life!"
And by and by came the sound of a bell chiming and she knew it was time for her to.... stop. And as she wandered through the town she began to feel that this was a place she would like to be for a very long time.
Tim, Billy and Pirate Boy
Once upon a time there was a poor pirate boy who had three wishes.
Once upon a time there was a boy called Tim who used to stay in hospital.
And once upon a time there was a little boy named Billy who had no sisters or brothers.
Hey Hobo Man, Hey Dapper Dan!
One day Billy was walking in the woods when suddenly... he heard a noise. Three lost children in local woods! Life would never be the same again.
"Forget reality, face the facts" said the pink fairy, and went to pick raspberries and meet Bob the Builder.
Anyway...Billy was frightened by the terrible screams, and shouts of thunder, lightning and rain!
Suddenly he heard a voice saying, "Come to me, Billy". Billy was scared – he wished he was home safe and snug in his bed, but there was no turning back. He could see red eyes coming towards him.
Here comes Tim. "I was sprinting away from a terrible monster when suddenly...crash. I was stuck in a gigantic hole! Tim drew his sword and with a mighty SLASH, he killed the troll.
After such a scary encounter they moved slowly forward inch by inch. Then they ran through the dark woods as the fragile floor collapsed behind them. They stopped, they were trapped, surely they would be killed, when suddenly...
The pirate boy looked into the dragon's eyes, took a deep breath and drew out his gleaming cutlass. Will the dragon live?
Dun dun dun....
They got blasted out of the beast's meandering body in a stream of goo. But the wings, when they stretched out, were fragile and broken. There was no way they could fly. This was many moons ago...when they jetted through the woods and meandered past the trees as they were chased, when suddenly...
Saturday Billy met his new friends. Sunday was his special day because he met Doctor Who! He did have friends! AND Doctor Who, Amy and Rory. No matter what day, it was Sunday. OK.
After their day out they decided never to go to the woods again.
Yo! Help! The End.
Moon Tree, by Nigel Felton age 69
She ran to the woods without a coat
Lured by the scent of the Moon Trees fruit
That amazes the nose and tingles the throat
Night time blooming, secret root.
The pallid moths showed her the way
A glow worm path to lead her feet
Running toward or running away
From family hearth and toadstool seat
Never go to the woods without a coat
Her mother advised, her father said
And never, ever talk to the stoat
Who offers you berries and a grassy bed.
So when they searched the following day
Over and under and all around
Why was it, in that woodland hay
Her brand new coat was all they found?
Follow the witches finger for more on Through the Woods, Darkly!

Q: Trying to add a suffix(string) to the end of each WebElement in a list I'm currently trying to verify whether some checkboxes are checked based on the word following them. If the line contains the word 'Elephant' it will go back to the beginning of that row and find the checkbox associated with it. My problem is that there are multiple lines that contain elephant and so I need to find all those elements.
I'm not able to tack 'is_selected()' onto the end of driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Elephant')]/preceding::td[1]/span/input[1]")
Because I get this error:
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute '.is_selected'
So I've come to the conclusion that to get around this I need to attach .is_selected() to the end of each list item and then I can go from there verifying them.
Here is what I've tried:

CheckBoxes = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Elephant')]/preceding::td[1]/span/input[1]")

Checkboxes = [x + ".is_selected" for x in CheckBoxes]

print(Checkboxes)

The error I get when I run the above is:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'WebElement' and 'str'

Also, if anyone has a better way to do this than turning these elements into a list I'd love some advice on that
UPDATE:
Here is what I went with instead that doesn't answer the original question, but does solve my problem.
try:
    for element in driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Elephant')]/preceding::td[1]/span/input[1]"):
        On = element.is_selected()

        if On is True:
            print("Elephant: Checked")
            print("\n")
        else:
            print("Elephant: UNCHECKED")
            print("\n")

except:
    pass

A: please share the snapshot of the dom if my the below suggestion doesn't solve your problem
First of all you are using find_elements that returns list of elements, and that's the reason why is_selected() is failing with the below error
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute '.is_selected
Assuming you verified the xpath in the browser and you are able to point all of the expected fields, here is the following code.
Lets say all checkboxes are prsent in CheckBoxes variable
for checkbox in CheckBoxes:
    assert checkbox.is_selected(), "checkbox is with text elephant is not selected"

Фёдор Гавриилович Киквадзе (, ) — грузинский политик, просветитель, член Национального совета Грузии и Учредительного собрания Грузии.

Биография

Фёдор Киквадзе родился в 1868 году в бедной крестьянской семье. В 1884 году с отличием окончил Озургетскую приходскую школу, затем — Тифлисскую духовную семинарию (1890).

Участвовал в нелегальных студенческих кружках, читал нелегальную литературу, редактировал нелегальный студенческий журнал «Лампар» (под псевдонимом Хлафортадзе), в котором сотрудничали Ной Жордания и Филипп Махарадзе. Выступил против школьной администрации, требовал преподавания грузинского языка, литературы и истории и добился требуемого. Но это выступление послужило причиной плохой характеристики, выданной в семинарии, создавшей серьезные препятствия для продолжения обучения в университете.

В июне 1890 года Киквадзе вернулся в своё село, в 1894 году удачно завершились его организаторские усилия по открытию в нём двухлетней школы. Сотрудничал на предприятиях Николоза Гогоберидзе в Чиатуре. Часть заработанных средств переводил на обустройство школы в родном селе. Принимал участие в создании Чиатурской библиотеки, театра, воскресной школы; стремился привлечь внимание к проблемам шахтёров, боролся за права женщин. В 1896 году в Поти была открыта первая библиотека. В 1897 году по приглашению Акакия Церетели он начал редактировать журнал «Коллекция». Также сотрудничал с периодическим изданием «Квали» (, где помещал материалы под псевдонимами «Чагхара», Т. Чагар, Беласини, Приморский, Пролетарский, Фэнди, Криманчуладзе, Ограсин, Анасин, Бунт, Хлафорти, Чиновники, Кудабзик, Делеканди, «Чкапшанели» и «Молния».

В 1904 году у себя дома проводил собрания социал-демократов, был членом бюро организации. Во время Гурийской республики он был помощником Бении Чхиквишвили, члена Гурийского комитета. В марте 1905 года был арестован на своей квартире и заключён в тюрьму Метехи, подозревался в связях с убийцами генерала Грязнова (Арсеном Георгиашвили). Освобождён по амнистии Воронцова-Дашкова. После освобождения работал секретарём в газете «Схиви». 15 апреля 1906 года снова был арестован. Уезжал в Гурию, возвращался в Тифлис, сотрудничал в юмористическом журнале «Екалши», преподавал в разных школах и сотрудничал с социал-демократической прессой. В 1914 году был избран членом главного совета Общества по распространению грамотности среди грузин, где с 1918 года стал заместителем председателя.

В ноябре 1917 года был избран членом Национального совета Грузии. 26 мая 1918 года подписал Декларацию независимости Грузии. В 1918 году был членом парламента Грузии. С 1918 по апрель 1919 года преподавал грузинскую словесность в 4-й женской гимназии. В 1919 году был избран в Тифлисский городской совет. 12 марта 1919 года был избран в Учредительное собрание, член комитета по образованию.

После советизации Грузии в 1921 году остался в стране и присоединился к движению сопротивления.

Затем занимался школьным образованием, участвовал в подготовке учебника грузинского языка для советских школ, писал детские рассказы. В 1927 году был назначен преподавателем грузинского языка в Академии художеств и грузинской литературы на художественном факультете. В 1930 году продолжил свою преподавательскую деятельность в качестве доцента Педагогического института. С 1931 года преподавал русский язык на химико-технологическом факультете. Продолжил преподавание переехав в Кутаиси. С 1931 года был членом секции научных работников Грузинской ССР.

Q: React Hook useEffect has missing dependencies: 'getData', 'isAuthorized', and 'props'. Either include them or remove the dependency array "React Hook useEffect has missing dependencies: 'getData', 'isAuthorized', and 'props'. Either include them or remove the dependency array. However, 'props' will change when any prop changes, so the preferred fix is to destructure the 'props' object outside of the useEffect call and refer to those specific props inside useEffect"
This is the warning I got when I'm trying to use useEffect. How can I solve this?
useEffect(() => {
        props.handleHeaderTitle("Approval State");
        getData();
        isAuthorized();
    }, [projectId])


The Finnish based Counter-Strike:Global Offensive team, HAVU Gaming has lost one team member, the Finn, Juho 'juho' Lampinen is no longer part of the team.
The reason behind the move is the fact that it seems the player due to their personalities could not get along.
"After four months with our new CSGO team, we have now parted ways with Juho "juhob" Lampinen.
The CSGO team has had their up's and downs this summer and we've addressed an issue with clashing personalities within the team.
Our team has tried to fix these problems but the outcome wasn't satisfying enough and Juho decided to step down from the roster. We'd like to thank Juho for his services during these four months.
We will be taking our time to test our new fifth and we shall inform you as soon as we are ready!"


Hard Starting Problems - EricTheCarGuy- Stay Dirty!
Another fuel pressure test is the leak down test. To perform this test, hook your gauge up and take your readings while the engine is running. Then shut the engine off and observe the pressure reading. It should hold steady for at least 30 minutes. It will drop a slight amount when you first shut the engine off, but it should hold steady after that. If it doesn't and you see a steady drop in pressure, you have a leak somewhere.
One of the most common leaks is the check valve inside the fuel pump. Each electric fuel pump contains a check valve designed to hold pressure in the system after shutoff for a faster start-up later. One of the symptoms of a bad check valve is a long cranking time when you first start the engine after it's been sitting for some time. The reason for this is that the fuel pump needs to fill the entire system with enough pressure for the engine to run before the engine will start. Here is a video showing what's inside a fuel pump.
The check valve isn't the only thing that can bleed off fuel pressure. You could also have a leaking fuel injector or bad FPR, as we talked about earlier. To separate the two problems, simply perform the same test above, but this time pinch off the return line and feed line going back to the tank when you shut the engine off. This will isolate the fuel rail from the rest of the system. If the leak goes away and you don't see a pressure drop, your problem is in the tank and is likely the check valve in the fuel pump. If the problem is still there, then you know the issue is somewhere in the fuel rail, which could be a leaking injector of FPR problem.
So how do you find the leaking injector? I often find them with the power balance test listed above. A power balance test can isolate a problem cylinder. With a leaking fuel injector, I often see a wet spark plug on the cylinder where there's a fuel leak. It might also have lots of soot caked on it from running rich. Sometimes you can remove the fuel rail and observe the injectors after you pressurize the fuel rail. You need to be careful with this, as fuel injectors are often just held in by the fuel rail. Once you remove the fuel rail, the injectors aren't secure and can pop out if pressure is applied behind them. Only do this test if the injectors are held onto the fuel rail in some way. You might do this with a piece of wire or something. You don't need to start the engine with the fuel rail removed; in fact, you can't. All you need to do is turn the key to the ON position for three seconds or so to pressurize the fuel system. For the most part, I think a wet or sooty spark plug that sticks out from the rest is all the info you need.


Translating—literally and figuratively—has been at the core of everything I do, and it's what we do best here too. Growing up as a bi-lingual speaker in an immigrant household taught me early on the importance of listening—for meaning, message and nuance. Being a native New Yorker gave me the awareness that we do not all share the same perspective or experience, but we do all seek to be understood, to be heard. Bridging those gaps with creative and thoughtful communications is what drives my work.
Whether I'm translating policy wonk or tech speak nothing compares to that moment when a client's needs are met and they feel heard, their message clarified and shared—especially in our 24/7 digital reality. My personal passion for what we do is matched and exceeded by each one of Widmeyer's clients and my dedicated and talented colleagues. When I'm not telling clients' stories, geeking out about robots or hunting for the next big idea in communications I'm chasing after my twins, opera-singing husband and dog. It's a busy life and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Yee-Huh?
The Dukes of Hazzard will try anything to be an amiable time-waster.
by Scott Renshaw
It would be so much easier just to hate The Dukes of Hazzard. It would be so much easier to use its existence as an excuse for a screed against the willingness of the American public to have its low culture nostalgia sold back to it like a dog lapping up its own upchuck and paying for the privilege. It would be so much easier to play critic-as-Boss Hogg and furiously fume, "Them Duke boys!
The Dukes of Hazzard, as it turns out, isn't really worth a good hate. It is, however, a somewhat confounding concoction. Not exactly a straightforward duplication, not exactly a winking deconstruction and not exactly a louder-faster-more big-screen expansion, it's all of those things and more, delivered with a giddy refusal to ignore any opportunity for a giggle or a smirk.
On the surface level, enough familiar touchstones are in place. Down in Hazzard County, Ga., cousins Bo (Seann William Scott) and Luke (Johnny Knoxville) still run moonshine for their Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson) in an orange Dodge Charger named the General Lee. Cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) still stimulates the salivary glands in her denim cutoffs-cum-bikini briefs. They're all still perpetually out to confound the notorious plans of Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds) and his stooge Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane (M. C. Gainey)'this time involving something about buying up land for coal mining. And someone still gets to utter the legendary insult, "Dipstick.
Mostly, however, there are car chases. If you grew up spending an hour of your Friday nights watching the original Dukes, you may recall that every plot was a thin excuse to get Bo and Luke into the General Lee for some yee-haw-ing and tearing madly through the countryside, usually with some vehicle bearing a flashing light in pursuit. And in this version there are plenty of wild chases, through city streets and on highways, over dirt roads and through fields. We're not talking Bullitt or The French Connection here, but it's got that energetic disregard for human or property damage that certainly honors its predecessor'and the good sense to freeze-frame on the General Lee while it's soaring improbably through the air thanks to a conveniently situated ramp.
But on other levels it seems utterly, gleefully unconcerned with giving you exactly what the show gave you, or what other TV-series adaptations tend to give you. A blonde Daisy? Scandalous. A taller-than-he-is-wide Boss Hogg? Treasonous. A meaner-than-he-is-stupid Roscoe? Blasphemous. Not a single cameo appearance by an original cast member, even Coy or Vance? Inconceivable. Throw in a few new peripheral characters'apparently created to give work to the Broken Lizard cohorts of director Jay Chandrasekhar (Super Troopers)'and the idea that this is a Dukes of Hazzard movie seems like just another cynical attempt to cash in on a familiar title.
And then it'll pivot again for some meta-commentary. The relationship between Bo and the General Lee becomes an almost sexual affair. The legendary "Dixie" blast of the car horn inspires eye-rolling, and the rebel flag on the roof earns some contemporary scorn from big-city passers-by. Even the tendency of Deputy Enos (Michael Weston) to give up information when Daisy flashes her curves becomes a plot point. Here you've got a movie that enjoys being The Dukes of Hazzard, enjoys not being The Dukes of Hazzard, and enjoys making fun of The Dukes of Hazzard.
It's a mad, sloppy conglomeration, but Chandrasekhar does know how to work a gag. He doesn't really care where the gags come from if they're going to yank a smile'a non-sequitur reference to Keyser Soze, a nod to his own character in Super Troopers, broad slapstick barroom brawls, conspiracy buffs wearing armadillo hats to keep out the radio waves, a swipe at Georgia residents' knee-jerk approval of the phrase, "Go Dawgs!" Even the outtakes over the end credits offer more goofy entertainment value than most.
In the end, it's not entirely clear what this Dukes of Hazzard is other than an amiable time-waster, something that surprises mostly in its refusal to completely suck. It ain't art, but it's not too proud to acknowledge that its main job is to satisfy an audience by any means necessary. And in that way more than any other, it might do its namesake proud.
