Maternity
You can self refer yourself directly to the antenatal clinics at St Marys Hospital, Queen Charlottes Hospital, Chelses and Westminster Hospital and UCLH without seeing a GP or nurse. When they receive your referral, they will arrange an appointment with a midwife to plan your maternity care including scans and screening tests as required. At this first ‘booking’ meeting, they will discuss all aspects of your pregnancy and childbirth and offer you a choice of the antenatal care and screening that suits you. Plans for your birth will be recorded in your notes and you can update this as you like throughout your pregnancy.
