Community Midwives

We offer "shared care" between our team of midwives at the health centre and the hospital of your choice. You are entitled to choose to attend any of the Glasgow hospitals which have a maternity unit for your ante natal care and birth. You will be offered an initial booking appointment followed by regular appointments at the antenatal clinics on Tuesdays and Thursdays where your progress will be monitored throughout your pregnancy.

The practice health visitors are trained in the care of mothers and their babies from birth through their early years and are available to give you advice during your pregnancy and after the birth. After the birth you will be visited by the midwife and health visitor at your home. They will give you advice on childcare and your own health, and also invite you to attend immunisation clinics, developmental checks and a weekly baby clinic.

The practice nurses will carry out your post natal check at around 6 weeks after your baby is born and give you advice on issues such as contraception.

Health Visitors

Our health visiting team provide advice and support to all young families. They specialise in child health, immunisation, parenting and post natal mums. They run appointments during the week in the practice and do home visits. If you have concerns or worries about your baby or child, especially related to feeding, development, immunisation or your own parenting or health, please feel free to contact them.
