If you are pregnant, download the Healthier Together app to access information and support for concerns in pregnancy.

Through the app, you can get advice on common pregnancy issues, and be directed to community or hospital care if needed.

If necessary, you will be connected to the Maternity Triage line to speak to a Midwife, 24 hours a day, who can discuss your concern and arrange for you to be seen.

The old Day Assessment Unit phone number will no longer be in use for outside calls, and you will be directed to contact via Maternity Triage instead.

If you are unable to access Apps for any reason, please speak to your Community Midwife who can discuss the alternative procedure with you.

Only call emergency services (999) if you have a life-threatening emergency or you are advised to do so by a health professional.
