Referrals to our miscarriage clinics
Please note, the following referrals information relates to the care of women and birthing people in England only. Healthcare in the UK is devolved, and Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish healthcare is funded separately. Referrals from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland need to be agreed on an individual basis via your GP as they will require funding to be agreed by the relevant Health Board.
Tommy’s National Centre for Miscarriage Research has recurrent miscarriage clinics in three different sites in the UK:
- Birmingham Women's Hospital
- University Hospital Coventry
- Queen Charlotte's & Chelsea Hospital and St Mary's Hospital, London
At our recurrent miscarriage clinics, women and their partners are given the opportunity to take part in research trials, accessing cutting-edge treatments and tests.
All our clinics accept online referrals only. You do not need to live in the local area to be referred to one of our clinics. Your GP will need to refer you via the NHS e-Referral service (often called the ‘choose & book’ system) if you meet the following criteria:
- You have had 3 or more miscarriages or 1 or more ‘late’ miscarriages (at 13-24 weeks gestation)
- You are less than 42 years old and have fewer than two living children (for referral to St Mary’s Hospital, London)
You can find out more about getting referred to a miscarriage specialist to help you prepare before your appointment.
If you live in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, referrals may need to be agreed and funding confirmed by your local GP.
If you have had 1 miscarriage, support is still available. You can use the Miscarriage Support Tool to find out your chance of a successful next pregnancy and get personalised information and support.
If you have had 2 miscarriages, you can use the Miscarriage Support Tool and can request investigations from your GP, including full blood count and thyroid function, to look for risk factors and issues as outlined in the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Green-top Guideline Number 17 (Recurrent Miscarriage).
