Special Services — Maternity Care

Joanne, our midwife is in charge of the service: Women can choose to see the Midwives or Doctors, or both during their pregnancy. If you become pregnant, you will need to see the midwife for a booking appointment. She will discuss your general health and how you will be cared for during the pregnancy.

If you need a pregnancy test either see the Practice Nurse or leave a message with the reception staff who will arrange for the nurse to leave a bottle and a form for you to collect.

Couples planning to have a baby may see the Doctor, Midwife or Practice Nurse for advice. All women trying to conceive should take folic acid tablets as this can reduce the risk of spina bifida.
