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.

NHS cervical screening (smear test) results change:

From September those who have a negative test result will be notified of this by an NHS app message. It will also appear as an NHS app notification. If the NHS App message isn’t read within 72 hours, a letter will be sent as a failsafe. Abnormal result letters will continue for the time being to be delivered by post.

Actions: please download the NHS App AND ensure the practice has your up to date contact details.

Thank you.
