West Moreton Health Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) operates every Monday at Providence.

The Midwifery Group Practice program provides continuity of care to women, meaning expectant Mums get to meet with the same midwife – who is supported by a small team of midwives – for all their antenatal appointments during their pregnancy, labour, birth and follow up postnatally for up to six weeks.

When attending the clinic at the hospital you can ask to be referred to Midwifery Group Practice or ask your GP to mark this on the original referral to the hospital. The sooner people identify they would like MGP the higher chance there is of being accepted before all the places are filled.

If you have any questions about the program, Julie is always happy to take phone calls on her work number Mon-Fri which is 3810 1682.

Alternatively, you can make an appointment by contacting the Antenatal Clinic at the Ipswich Hospital on 3810 1310 or 34137546

Come and join us for a fun night of crochet and community spirit.

With Christmas fast approaching, and only 3 more get-togethers for 2019, come and join us for the opportunity to create your own Christmas gifts.

Choose from a kids’ toy, market bag, or a small shoulder bag (event photo shows examples of the types of patterns we’ll be supplying and helping you with).

Don’t worry if you’re new to crochet, we’ll have patterns, hooks, yarn, and volunteers who can teach right and left handed people to create your own personalised Christmas gift. All we ask for these sessions is a one-time donation to cover the cost of the yarn supplied for you to make your gift (this will be no more than $10).

If you are a more experienced crocheter, please feel free to come along and join us for an evening of creation and good company! You don’t need to be a member of the group to join us, everyone is welcome! We look forward to seeing you there!

And don’t worry, this isn’t a crochet-along (CAL), if you can’t make it to one of the three evenings, just pop along to the others 🙂

Children (under supervision) are welcome to come along but please be mindful that there are no childminding or entertainment facilities provided on the night.
