Video and Phone Consultations
In addition to our in person support sessions, we also offer virtual one to one consultations by video or phone.
If you are worried about your baby or yourself, please contact your midwifery or health visiting team, or NHS 111 (999 if it's an emergency). GPs and hospitals are also still there to support you. Please don't delay contacting them if you are worried.
OBS is a small independent charity. Your midwife or health visitor can provide feeding support as part of your care and you can ask for additional visits or contacts for help with feeding.
You can can choose to see a particular facilitator, or select "Any practitioner" to book the next available appointment. Slots are available to book once week in advance, so if you don't see any available slots please check back later.
Instead of Zoom, we are now using the telehealth software integrated with the new Cliniko booking system. You don’t need to download anything: just click on the video link in your confirmation email at the time of your appointment. Please note you will only be able to join from one device at a time.
Please only book one appointment at a time. You can easily cancel or change your appointment. Our facilitator will make a follow-up plan with you, if needed.
