Ante-Natal clinic
The midwife picks up all new referrals and will be in touch to arrange your ante-natal appointments. If you are pregnant, please make sure you are taking folic acid for the first three months, and remember that smoking is even more harmful for your baby than it is for you.

Covid 19 Updates
Facial Covering Exemption – Letter Requests
Our response follows the UK Government guidance, which is supported by the British Medical Association. The Government guidance suggests there is no requirement for evidence for exemption. It should be sufficient for someone to declare that they are eligible for an exemption direct with the person questioning them. GP Practices are therefore not required to provide letters of support for those who fall under the list of exemptions, or those who do not fall under the list of exemptions: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-safer-travel-guidance-for-passengers#exemptions-face-coverings
