Referrals
Referrals are received to our unit from health professionals, such as your GP, Midwife or via the emergency department. You cannot refer yourself directly to the unit, but staff are available to provide advice if you experience any pain, bleeding, or other problems with your pregnancy up to 16 weeks gestation.
