Teenage Clinic
This clinic provides care for teenagers up to 17 years of age and to vulnerable young women. The service is led by Dr Geraldine Connolly , consultant obstetrician, Debbie Browne, teenage support midwife and a medical social worker. Age specific antenatal classes are provided by the teenage support midwife, which focus on preparing for labour and on caring for a newborn baby. A postnatal follow-up visit is also provided, with an emphasis on contraception.
Teenagers may contact the support midwife directly by phoning 087 – 913 8430 during office hours.
