Maternity Care

Most of your care during pregnancy is provided at the surgery, though you will be seen two or three times in the hospital antenatal clinic. Please bring a small sample of urine to each antenatal and postnatal clinic. Your first antenatal appointment will be with the doctor and you will also have an opportunity to see the midwife at the booking clinic which is held on a Tuesday. After that, until your baby is born, you will be seen by either the midwife or the doctor. You will also have an opportunity to meet the health visitor to discuss any problems regarding your pregnancy. The practice holds a baby clinic on Friday mornings at City Way with a health visitor in attendance.

Out-Reach Clinics (Hospital Consultants)

The practice has arranged for various hospital consultants to undertake out-reach clinics within the practice surgeries for a variety of specialist care. These are clinics that would normally require patients to attend outpatient appointments at hospital. The clinics speed up waiting and treatment times for our patients who need referring for consultant care and are far more convenient for patients to attend.
