Tricia Hinds is the local midwife who holds sessions in the practice on Tuesdays. She can be contacted through the Manor Square clinic in Otley.

Midwives offer individual care to women and their families and help them take part in their own care planning during pregnancy.

The midwife will support the woman and her partner, and may help with the birth of the baby. Support continues from the confirmation of the pregnancy and through the post-natal period which follows the end of labour.

We also have a number of other specialist staff who hold surgeries here and patients may be booked in to see them by arrangement with their GP.
