Most referrals to other specialists will require you seeing or speaking with a GP, however there are a number of services locally, listed below that you are able to make self-referrals to.

Pregnancy self-referral | BHR Hospitals

You will normally be seen for your first appointment between 8 to 10 weeks, depending on your gestation when we receive your self-referral. 

We advise that all pregnant women take 400 micrograms of Folic Acid until they are 12 weeks pregnant and 10 micrograms of Vitamin D a day for the duration of their pregnancy. 

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services

The new model recognises that not all children and young people’s emotional and well-being needs are best supported in specialist CAMHS services, but rather within their own wider networks of support.

The Wellbeing Hub will support children and young people with emotional and psychological needs/disorders by providing both assessments, signposting and referral to the most appropriate type of support from universal and targeted services, and direct specialist support when required.  

The Wellbeing hub is, therefore, the front door to all local Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health Support services.

The Wellbeing Hub will accept self-referrals and Parent/Carer referrals, along with referrals from professionals.
