When you find out you are pregnant, you can refer yourself for NHS pregnancy care so you start care with a midwife right away.
Once you sign up online, the maternity team will contact you to book your first appointment with a midwife.
You should do this by the 10th week of pregnancy, if possible, but it’s never too late to start. If you're over 10 weeks, refer yourself as soon as you can.

Today we reflect on the service of our armed forces, and remember all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect our communities.

If you're in the British armed forces or are a veteran, a reservist, or a family member of someone who is serving or who has served, help is available.

Did you know we are an armed forces Veteran friendly accredited GP Practice?

While healthcare for veterans is already prioritised, the NHS wants to improve the way in which veterans are registered at their GP practice and support GPs and practice teams to ensure veterans are fully aware of the dedicated help available to them.

Please let us know if you are a veteran so we can ensure this is recorded on your medical records.
