Early Pregnancy Assessment Service (EPAS)

The service operates via appointments only on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 8:00am to 4:30pm.

An EPAS Midwife will contact you by phone or text to discuss your symptoms and organise your first face-to-face appointment. Please be aware that this call may appear from a private number.

We understand that this can be stressful time. Whenever possible, we aim to offer an appointment within 48 hours.

There is no cost. Financial consent for billing will be discussed with you at your first appointment.
