Bookings, referral process and contacts

RPA Women and Babies and Canterbury Hospital have specific procedures for referring and booking a woman into the hospital for both routine and specialist pregnancy related clinics. Be aware that this process differs between hospitals. Specific referral forms may also be required to be completed by the referring GP.

All women should arrange their first hospital "booking in" appointment ASAP. This visit should be scheduled for ~ 12-14 weeks gestation.

It is important if you see a woman in the first trimester who you may consider a risk of complication of pregnancy that they can be referred for early review in pregnancy and do not have to wait until their booking in appointment. This is officially called a “consultation in pregnancy” and these consultations are seen in the various high-risk pregnancy clinics at the hospital. These women should be referred to the relevant hospital antenatal clinic (ANC) for triage. The hospital will determine the timing and clinic allocation.

There may be specific indications for discussion, consultation and/or transfer of care when first discussing a woman’s needs during initial visits. Indications are outlined in the National Midwifery Guidelines for Consultation and Referral. These cover medical conditions, pre-existing gynaecological disorders, previous obstetric history and indications developed/discovered during pregnancy. The main purpose of the indication list is to provide a guide for risk-selection.
