Derbyshire Community Health Services also employ the community midwives, who are nurses specially trained to care for women throughout normal pregnancy, labour and after the birth. They are involved in all aspects of maternity care, and the name of your midwife will be given when booking your first antenatal session.

A new maternity services finder is available on NHS.UK to help women self-refer directly into maternity services to start NHS pregnancy care.     

By completing a simple online form on NHS.uk, mums-to-be can now refer themselves directly to their local maternity services without seeing a GP first.
