Maternity Referrals
Did you know that if you have a positive pregnancy test you can refer yourself to a hospital of your choice for your maternity care. Basildon Hospital, Broomfield Hospital or Queens Hospital.
Basildon Hospital and Broomfield Hospital
Mums-to-be no longer need to visit a GP – you can just refer yourself online. If you are a mum-to-be and you have a positive pregnancy test and you wish to have your baby under the care of Basildon Hospital Maternity Services, you can contact the maternity team directly by completing the antenatal self-referral form without the need to see a GP first.
Go to: basildonandthurrock.nhs.uk
Click on 'Services' and then click on maternity services. You will then find the Antenatal Self-Referral Form for you to complete and submit to the hospital.
A qualified midwife will contact them by telephone within seven days following receipt to discuss the next step.
Anyone experiencing problems with the submission of their referral form, should email maternity@btuh.nhs.uk for Basildon Hospital.
