Maternity

Hello and Welcome to the City & Hackney Maternity page


Advice and Guidance 
The Maternity and Obstetric Advice and Guidance Service is via email huh-tr.obstetricquery@nhs.net. You can expect a response within 72 hours. For any more urgent issues, bleep the Emergency Obstetric Unit (EOU) registrar on bleep 364 (>18/40 gestation) or the on-call obstetrics registrar on bleep 003 via Homerton switchboard (0208 510 5555)
 
Within this webpage we use the terms woman and women's health. However, it is important to acknowledge that it is not only women for whom it is necessary to access maternity services to maintain their gynaecological health and reproductive wellbeing. Maternity services and delivery of care must therefore be appropriate, inclusive and sensitive to the needs of those individuals whose gender identity does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth.
 

Information pack for pregnant smokers

Public Health England have launched a new information pack for pregnant smokers.

The pack includes information about the health risks, a myth buster, advice on the support available from local stop smoking services and tips on dealing with cravings and stress. It is a clinical resource designed to be shared as part of a confidential and supportive 1-1 intervention by a midwife, or member of the midwifery team – if you feel it would help.

Your can order the pack for your patients here (Password: stopsmoking).
