Maternal Medicine referrals
Our weekly multidisciplinary team meetings consist of, maternal medicine obstetricians, an obstetric physician, obstetric anaesthetists, backed up by specialist physicians in all medical specialities.
The majority of pregnant people with complications during pregnancy will continue to be managed by local maternity services, depending upon individual needs. Some people will only require discussion at the MDT meetings, whilst others may require a single appointment with the Maternal Medicine Centre (MMC). Only a very small number of pregnant people will require all their care MMC.
Referrals are welcomed from all areas of the UK and must be made by a GP, specialist physician or obstetrician. Self-referrals will not be accepted.
