Welcome to Providence Dinner

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

If you are a parent of a child with additional needs here is your chance to help create a local group that is the kind of group, you’d want to part of.   Why? Because this very first meeting, together we will be co-designing your very own group.   It is also a great opportunity to meet other parents who understand all the great things about and the challenges of, raising a child with additional needs.

This first meeting will give us an opportunity to get to know each other and then decide on things like what the group would like to achieve? How should it be run?  How often would we like to meet? What meeting time works best?  Do you want guest speakers? Social outings? etc…

The group will be facilitated by Toni who is a parent of a young adult with ASD.  Toni also works within schools as a chaplain who specialises in the needs of students with disabilities and their families.

This group is a parent group and unfortunately at this stage, we cannot cater for children to attend.

Drinks and snacks provided.

RSVP’s appreciated.
