Midwifery Antenatal Care Clinic opens for unattached pregnant patients in Kamloops

June 6, 2023

Unattached pregnant patients in the Kamloops area can now access the Midwifery Antenatal Care Clinic in Royal Inland Hospital to receive ongoing care before birth. 

The clinic receives referrals from family doctors, nurse practitioners, midwives and the Kamloops Urgent Primary Care and Learning Centre (UPCLC). Patients who have had their initial appointments at the Kamloops UPCLC are automatically added to the referral list. 

Patients who have not had a confirmed pregnancy with a dating ultrasound should book an initial appointment with a family doctor, nurse practitioner, midwife or the Kamloops UPCLC (250-314-2256) to be added to the referral list. 

A member of the care team will reach out to all patients on the referral list via phone by June 19 to book appointments based on their due dates and other specific needs. Instructions will be given directly to patients in these calls. 

To contact the Midwifery Antenatal Care Clinic, please dial 250-314-2782 and select 1 to leave a message. Staff check messages frequently and will respond in a timely manner. 

We encourage patients to also connect with Healthy from the Start (855-868-7710) for additional support and information. This is a toll-free, confidential phone line that connects patients with a public health nurse, who will share information, answer questions and help you get connected to resources in the community.
