What to expect
A routine gynaecology visit, prenatal appointment and specialist maternity referral follow different pathways.
A good place to start
State the purpose of the appointment and ask which professional you will see. Confirm how the service shares information with your usual maternity or primary-care team.
What to compare
- Relevant clinic
- Continuity of care
- Appointment and referral process
Prepare your questions
Write down why you are seeking care and what you want to understand. Check the practitioner’s professional registration and whether a referral is needed. These guides explain services; they cannot assess symptoms or choose treatment. Do not delay urgent care to compare listings.
