Shared Antenatal Care

Shared Antenatal Care

Shared care is an arrangement between a hospital and a local healthcare professional (general practitioner) where your pregnancy care is divided between the local provider and the hospital. You will have some of your antenatal appointments with your local provider and others with the hospital, depending on the reason for the visit.

In Australia, GPs who provide shared care will often have extra obstetric training and qualifications and a special arrangement with the maternity hospital where you want to give birth to your baby. Parkwood Green Medical is able to provide care by utilising the shared care model and is currently affiliated with Western Health. If shared care is the model of care which you would prefer, please speak to one of our friendly receptionist to discuss your options and suitable general practitioners to assist.
