Bump Services
If you have a positive pregnancy test you can now make your own online self-referral for your maternity care, without needing to see a doctor or nurse at the practice.
Our practice is now registered and listed on the online referral portal, so all you need to do, to refer for your maternity care is use this secure link and provide the information requested. You will need your NHS number and the name of the practice, with which you must be registered. Important that the correct NHS number is entered to avoid delays in accessing care. Below is the national link for getting a text message with your NHS number as long as you input the contact details you have used to register with the GP.
https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/online-services/find-nhs-number/You can also find your NHS number on your NHS App.
The information you provide will be used to process your referral by both the community maternity team assigned to our practice and the booking office of your chosen hospital within Birmingham and Solihull. A copy of your referral will also be shared with us, as your GP Practice, for information.
https://www.badgernotes.net/SelfReferral/CareLocation/BUMP - it is quick and easy and will just take a few minutes. This link can also be used to refer a pregnancy on behalf of someone else, providing you have her consent.
IMPORTANT: You need to search for the GP practice site by the POSTCODE in the drop-down list to complete your SPA portal referral. Your referral can only be processed based on the information you provide and can delay your care if incorrect information is provided.
