Patient – SPA Maternity Referral Instructions to process self-referral for maternity care

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 visit the secure link below and provide the information requested. You’ll need your NHS number and the name of our practice, with which you must be registered.
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, your GP Practice, for information.
Click on this link or type into your browser using your mobile phone or digital device (laptop/ computer) Badger Notes – Self-refer your pregnancy to BSOL LMNS – BUMP it’s quick and easy and will just take a few minutes. This link can also be used to refer a pregnancy on behalf of a woman 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.

- UHB – Good Hope Hospital
- UHB – Birmingham Heartlands Hospital
