In addition to our in-person support sessions, we also offer virtual one to one consultations by video or phone to families living and/or accessing health care in Oxfordshire. This service is primarily for service users who would have trouble attending one of our face-to-face sessions or have other reasons for not attending in person, including:
- no local OBS in-person session
- no transport
- other caring responsibilities
- health reasons
- challenges accessing help in a group setting
We often have capacity to see people with other reasons for accessing virtual help so if you are not sure, please check if any appointments are available. If there are no appointments available please email us.
Please fill out the request form below. Feel free to email us if you have any questions.
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 there to support you. Please don’t delay contacting them if you are worried. 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.

Language Line language interpretation services are available, including for British Sign Language.

You may find it helpful to download the free Otter Voice Meeting Notes app or other transcription apps that will listen to your consultation and transcribe your conversation in real time, as well as saving it to look back over later.
