Pregnancy Care

At Wheaton Hall, we offer combined Ante-Natal care, usually with an obstetrician, under the Maternity and Infant Care scheme. The Maternity and Infant Care Scheme provides an agreed programme of care to all expectant mothers who are ordinarily resident in Ireland. This service is provided by a GP of your choice and a hospital obstetrician and is delivered by our team of doctors and nurses at Wheaton Hall.

To avail of the service, the GP will provide you with an application form, which they will complete with you. This is returned to the HSE where it will be processed for inclusion in the Scheme.

The GP provides an initial examination, if possible before 12 weeks, and a further 6 examinations during the pregnancy, which are alternated with visits to your maternity unit/hospital. The schedule of visits may be changed by your GP and/or hospital obstetrician depending on your individual situation.

Where an expectant mother suffers from a significant illness, e.g. diabetes or hypertension, up to 5 additional visits to the GP may be provided. However care in respect of illnesses which are co-incidental with, but not related to your pregnancy, does not form part of the Scheme.

After the birth, the practice nurse will see your baby at 2 weeks, and your GP will examine both mother and baby at 6 weeks.

COST

All visits to the practice under the Maternity and Infant Care Scheme are free of charge

 


 

Cervical Smear Tests

We are pleased to participate in the National Cervical Screening Programme “CervicalCheck”. All women between the ages of 25 and 65 are entitled to a cervical smear test free of charge, every 3 years up to the age of 30 and every 5 years to age 65. However you must have received an invitation from CervicalCheck to avail of the free service. If you have not been contacted by CervicalCheck but you feel that your smear is due, then you should register by ringing 1800454555 or go to www.cervicalcheck.ie.

“Prevention is better than cure” is a principle that underlies many of the services available to you. Cervical smear testing is an important tool in the prevention of cancer and we would like to encourage all women who attend the practice to undergo this simple test on a regular basis (once you have a smear in the practice, our recall system is available to remind you when your next smear is due).

Our practice nurse is available for routine smear testing, so please contact the surgery if you feel that a smear test is overdue.

COST

There is no charge for cervical screening when it is part of the CervicalCheck programme


 

Breast Check

You will become eligible for breast screening once you reach the age of 50. Your first invitation will depend on when screening is available in your area.
