Leeds / Yeadon

Has anyone else had any issues with their midwife not replying to messages? Its nothing mega urgent but my bloods I had taken on 10/09 for my first trimester appointment still aren’t back so I was messaging to check they hadn’t been lost - I did ring my surgery but they said to contact my midwife - I haven’t actually met her yet as she was off sick for my first appointment. Also queried my next appointment as I’m 16 weeks tomorrow & there’s nothing noted on the system of my upcoming appointment that the covering midwife supposedly booked in for me 🥲 I totally get they’re super busy but the communication seems to be lacking when I can’t get the information for my surgery

Just called the surgery again & they confirmed they think the bloods have been lost 🙃🙃

I've had the same issue with the midwife not replying. It seems to be really hit and miss.

Yeah it is a bit poor tbh especially now they’ve said they think my blood results have been lost 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Sounds like a nightmare Liv!!! I started off with leeds and my first midwife appointment was just shit so I ended up doing a self referral for Harrogate hospital and honestly cannot fault them at all! You can self refer at any point I believe so might be worth looking into if you’re not happy with leeds! X

Honestly it’s a pain!! They’ve said I’ll need to re-do my blood tests but you get them done in the 2nd trimester as well anyway don’t you so it’s not really the point 🥲🤣 Yeah I was looking into Harrogate anyway if I’m honest! Thanks you, can you do the self referral online? Also, Happy due date!!🩷🩷

That’s so annoying 🤯 yeah go on the harrogate hospital website and there’s a self referral service and they will get back to you within a couple of days usually! Aww thanks 🫶🏼 still no sign yet, she must be too cosy 😂 xxx

Do you have an email address on the stickers on the front of your folder? I had my midwife’s number but occasionally used the email if she was on hol etc for non urgent things as in theory a few of the community midwives locally should see it. For example I was at Ireland wood practice but part of holt park group so this was the email leedsth-tr.holtparkmidwives@nhs.net

Ah thank you I’ll have a look! 🥰
