Self referral to access maternity care

PATIENTS SHOULD REGISTER THEIR PREGNANCY ON: https://www.uhsussex.nhs.uk/services/maternity/pregnancy/book/

Telephone number 01444 448608

It is important that you self refer via this website from 6 weeks of pregnancy and should make your initial maternity booking appointment for 8 weeks with the midwife.

Your scan will be generated from your self referral appointment so please ensure this is undertaken prior to you booking appointment with the midwife. It will also ask you to print out and fill in a number of forms to take with you to the initial appointment.

If you have any queries/concerns then don’t hesitate to contact reception who may be able to advise you or will pass additional queries on to our midwives otherwise as above you can contact the community midwifery team at the hospital.

Micro-suction and Ear Syringing

We now offer a micro suction service at the practice.

Patients who wish to receive micro suction must first book in with our senior HCA or Practice Nurse for a 10-minute ear check appointment.

They will then assess your ears and depending on suitability – you will be booked in for either ear syringing or micro suction.

Patients referred for our in house micro suction will be added to our waiting list and contacted by a member of reception when there is availability.

Micro suction appointments are 30 minutes long and we hold a clinic once a month at our Vale site.

Evening and Weekend Access to GP Appointments

Patients registered with a GP in Horsham and Mid Sussex can now access evening and weekend GP appointments.

Patients can book evening and weekend appointments at one of our primary care hubs in the local area providing they have given consent to share their medical records with other medical services that are involved in their care. If a patient has declined to share they will NOT be able to book these appointments.

The service was designed by NHS Horsham and Mid Sussex CCG, working in partnership with local patients and clinicians. The hubs are run by Alliance for Better Care Ltd, the local GP Federation.

How to book into the hubs

The GP hubs offer both routine and urgent appointments which can be booked through the patient’s own GP practice in the normal way, during normal opening hours.

Clinicians working at the hubs will be able to access a patient’s medical records with your agreement. Patients will be asked before any information is shared and can decline if they wish.
