The Women with Individual Needs Clinic is an antenatal care clinic for women with an intellectual disability and learning difficulty. The Clinic can also work with women who have acquired brain injury, physical disability or sensory impairment who are pregnant.

The Women with Individual Needs Clinic has a dedicated Midwife and Social Worker. The Midwife provides continuity of antenatal and postnatal care, pregnancy related information and postnatal outreach for up to 6 weeks after the baby’s birth.
The Social Worker assesses a women's social support needs, provides information about service options, responds to her immediate needs and works with her and the Midwife to develop a postnatal care plan.
