Maternity Services

Ideally your GP would like to see you within the first 12 weeks of your pregnancy. The GP will examine you and arrange a 12 week ultrasound scan.

Thereafter your ante-natal care will be provided jointly by the Community Midwives at Tiverton & District Hospital and your GP.

Post-natally, the Midwives will undertake daily home visits for up to 14 days and will then transfer your care over to the Health Visitors.

The Health Visitors will also undertake a home visit and will arrange follow up visits as appropriate.

All new mothers are advised to attend for a six week post-natal check, with their GP. Your GP will examine you and your baby, review any ongoing medical problems as well as discussing contraception requirements.

Psychological Treatment Service

NHS Devon commissions the provision of a practice based psychological treatment service which is accessible to patients, on referral from their GP. The service offers assessment and access to a range of treatment options including; self management, stress control courses and individual treatment.

Private Services

Some examinations and certificates (eg for sports, HGV, PSV licences and travel immunisations) are not covered by the NHS and you will need to pay for these. This also includes private certificates/prescriptions, holiday cancellation forms and insurance claim forms.

Our fees are based on the British Medical Association’s recommended scale and are displayed in reception. Medical examinations may take up to 30 minutes and we would appreciate some advance notice, so that we may make you an appropriate appointment.
