Our Services – Minehead Medical Centre

Self Referral to Midwife

Self refer your pregnancy to the Somerset Midwife NHS service. It provides a single point of access for all maternity referrals in the Somerset area. The aim is to make sure you have access to the right care from day one. Somerset will triage your referral based on the information you provide and the hospital will contact you to start your antenatal care. In the meantime if you are worried about your pregnancy, please tell your GP straight away.

Translation service

If English is not your first language, or you have any other requirements, please ask at Reception to see if our translation service can help you. Please note that this is not always available straight away and may require an additional wait whilst a translator is sourced. This service is usually provided digitally rather than a translator attending in person.

Chaperone service

Should you wish, patients are able to take someone into their appointment with them. However, should you wish someone to accompany you but do not have anyone with you, please ask at Reception if one of our team can act as a chaperone. Please note that we may also ask that a chaperone accompanies you in your meeting.
