Finding a good GP... when?

[Shanti]

QUOTE BY ANOTHER POST : Tweed Hospital has 20 beds, 4 birth suites and a level 2 special care nursery. Antenatal classes are run by the midwives who work there. There is also an antenatal clinic which is run by midwives. Doctors are available for the more high risk situation. Approximately a third of the women who birth their babies at Tweed cross the border from Queensland to do so. There is an early discharge program where women can be visited by a midwife. Some areas of the Gold Coast are also covered for this service: Tugun, Kirra, Currumbin, Tallebudgera etc. Check with the hospital to find out. I have never heard of women or babies being transferred to Gold Coast Hospital for a higher level of care. In the more complicated situation, women and babies are transfered to tertiary hospitals in the capital cities via ambulance, helicopter or light aircraft with medical staff. The staff are committed to giving a high level of care. Woman-centred care is ideal."

I found this looking through old posts, back from Nov 06. a midwife posted the above so that is useful to know.....

Thanks girls, first i have to get pregnant! (lol) than find GP in area then choose which hospital ... probably Tweed... its close and i've read good things about it. IF not happy i can always swap and go to GC Hosp.
