| The Community Midwives |
Midwives are employed by Frimley Park Hospital and are attached to the surgery. They share responsibility for ante and postnatal care with the Doctors.
Our community midwives are skilled practitioners of normal midwifery, who are able to recognise, diagnose and refer any abnormality.
They are able to give the necessary supervision, care and advice to women during pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period, and they attend home births.
The Community Midwife ideally sees the patient for a booking appointment at around 8 weeks of pregnancy. It is possible to book this appointment directly with the Midwife (via the GP receptionists).
The Midwives run antenatal workshops and details will be given to patients at the booking appointment.
The Community Midwives can be contacted on 01276 604241.
All pregnant women will be given information on how to contact the Midwives outside of surgery hours and who to contact in an emergency.
