Oxford Maternal Medicine (Silver Star)

We care for those with medical conditions which either pre-date the pregnancy, such as hypertension or epilepsy, or which come to light during the course of the pregnancy, such as pre-eclampsia.

Your midwife, GP, specialist doctor / teams will refer you to these clinics as needed.

We are also the Maternal Medicine Centre for the Thames Valley Maternal Medicine Network. This brings together multidisciplinary specialist teams to ensure women across the region have timely access to the best medical advice during pregnancy.

  • Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust
