Cancellation Policy
This service requires a GP referral before the first attendance. You are welcome to book this service and then subsequently provide your referral before the first appointment. Visits can be booked at your requested intervals based on availability. This means if you need more support at the beginning you can have more frequent visits, and then later space them apart, depending on your needs.​ ​ You are still advised to have a routine appointment with your GP for you and your newborn between 5-10 days and 6 weeks postpartum. A midwife appointment does not replace this. This service does not replace your antenatal or birth health care provider. This is for postnatal services only and all clients are required to have another booked provider for antenatal and birth care before booking this service.
