The Shirley team of midwives covers all pregnant women registered with our surgery. Our usual midwife provides pregnancy care with antenatal checks at the health centre and at home, to the early days of postnatal care at home again. Her antenatal clinic is here at the health centre on Thursday afternoons. Our midwife can be contacted via the midwifery secretary at Solihull Hospital on (0121) 709 0209.
