If you think you might be pregnant, or have had a positive pregnancy test, our practice is here to support you with confidential advice and care.
If You Think You Are Pregnant
If you have a positive home pregnancy test and would like to continue with the pregnancy, you can self-refer to the midwives without having to contact your GP.

Please contact the surgery if you have any concerns about your current pregnancy which can include bleeding, pain, other conditions or medication queries.
Your Choices
Every person’s circumstances are different. Options following a pregnancy may include:
- Continuing the pregnancy and receiving antenatal care
- Ending a pregnancy
Our role is to provide accurate information, support, and referrals, so you can make the decision that is right for you.
Ending a Pregnancy
You do not need a GP referral to access an NHS termination service, but we are happy to help if you would like support, information, or signposting.
Please visit:

These services also offer counselling and support if you have any concerns or if you’re undecided.
Confidentiality
Your privacy is extremely important to us. All pregnancy‑related consultations, including discussions about abortion, are handled confidentially in line with NHS and data protection standards.
If you are under 16, you can still access confidential advice and support.
