The named midwife for this
surgery is Ruth Leonard.
The ante-natal clinic is held on a Friday at
1.00 p.m.
To make an appointment with the midwife,
please ring the surgery on:
08444 778 608.
The role of the midwife is to provide
advice, support and care throughout your
pregnancy, childbirth and post-natal period.
Once you have confirmation of pregnancy, it
is beneficial to you and your baby to book
with the midwife as early as possible.
Please ensure that you are taking Folic Acid
either in pregnancy or as soon as you think
you may be pregnant. Early pregnancy care is
essential. Diet, information regarding the
risks of taking non-prescribed substances
(including over the counter medication),
smoking and alcohol consumption can be
discussed during your pregnancy.
The midwife would also like to discuss the
type of maternity care available. Depending
on individual assessments, some maternity
care may require hospital visits and some
may only require visits to the surgery.
During the post-natal period, the GP will
not conduct house calls unless there is a
medical indication.
The midwives can be contacted at the
‘Midwifery Led Unit’ where a message can be
left for them when they are not on duty.
