Clinics We Offer

maternity

Antenatal Clinics

Your midwives are:

  • Jane Threlfall (Dibden Purlieu)
  • Claire Twydell or Kay Sowerby (Marchwood)

Dr's. Hudson, Woollett, Joseph, Lee-Robichaud, Powell, Lockley and Clarke all undertake antenatal care in conjunction with the local community midwives.  If you think you may be pregnant, visit your pharmacist either for a self-test kit, or to arrange for the pharmacist to do a pregnancy test.  If your test is positive, you should see your doctor to make arrangements for your antenatal care.

If it is your first baby, it is quite likely your GP will share your antenatal care with a consultant obstetrician and that your baby will be born at the Princess Anne Maternity Hospital in Southampton.  The day after delivery it is likely you will be transferred back to the maternity unit at Hythe Hospital for your postnatal care. 

For subsequent confinements, where there are no complications, Hythe Hospital is a popular choice for the delivery as well as the postnatal care.

Diabetic Clinic

Dr Powell holds a diabetic clinic each Thursday morning at Dibden Purlieu. Diabetic patients of the practice will normally have their diabetes looked after by her, in conjunction with Sister Thornton, and Mrs. L Gunn (clinical assistant) and you will be called for to attend regular checks. 

Dr. Hudson is also a specialist in diabetes and holds a diabetic surgery at Dibden Purlieu on Friday mornings.
