The NHS has started a new self-referral system, called Pregnancy Care, for patients looking to access their local midwives. You do not need to see your doctor prior to using this service, though if you have a long-term health condition, or are on medication, you should also contact your GP or specialist, in case there needs to be modifications to your care or medication. To use this new service, click the button below, and you will be asked for your postcode, to find your local NHS trusts with maternity services. Simply click on the service you wish to refer yourself to.

Most services will ask you to fill out a form. If you cannot refer yourself online, follow the link below the hospitals name to the maternity website, which will tell you other ways to contact them.
