If you have a positive pregnancy test you can now make your own online self-referral for your maternity care, without needing to see a doctor or nurse at the practice.
Our practice is now registered and listed on the online referral portal, so all you need to do to refer for your maternity care is visit the secure link below and provide the information requested. You’ll need your NHS number and the name of the practice, with which you must be registered.
The information you provide will be used to process your referral by both the community maternity team assigned to our practice and the booking office of your chosen hospital within the Birmingham and Solihull area. A copy of your referral will also be shared with us for information.
To register online, please use the link: https://www.badgernotes.net/SelfReferral/CareLocation/BUMP – it’s quick and easy and will just take a few minutes. This link can also be used to refer a pregnancy on behalf of someone else, providing you have her consent.
IMPORTANT: You need to search for the GP practice site by the POSTCODE in the drop-down list to complete your SPA portal referral- B31 3HB. Your referral can only be processed based on the information you provide and can delay your care if incorrect information is provided.
You’ll be able to select a first, second and third preferred choice of hospitals to provide your care and for the birth of your baby. Hospitals which can provide this care include:
