At Hampstead Medical, we offer a comprehensive Shared Care Maternity Provider service that combines the expertise of your trusted GP with specialised support from leading hospitals and healthcare professionals, ensuring a healthy, happy pregnancy and smooth transition into childbirth.
Shared care allows you to receive regular check-ups with your GP while benefiting from specialised care from obstetricians and midwives for more complex aspects of your pregnancy. Your GP at Hampstead Medical will oversee your general health, monitor your progress with routine check-ups, and offer advice on pregnancy-related concerns.
If you require additional care, we collaborate with expert obstetricians and midwives from Royal Women’s Hospital, Joan Kirner at Sunshine Hospital, and Mercy Hospital. This model ensures you have both the convenience of seeing your GP and the specialised care you need for a healthy pregnancy.
At Hampstead Medical, we believe in offering the best possible support throughout your pregnancy journey. With Dr. Cecile Arcena, a qualified shared care provider, you’ll receive continuous care and personalised support every step of the way. Dr. Arcena works in partnership with leading hospitals such as Royal Women’s Hospital, Joan Kirner at Sunshine Hospital, and Mercy Hospital, giving you access to top-tier obstetric care when needed.
You can trust our team to provide you with expert guidance, compassionate care, and a seamless experience throughout your pregnancy and childbirth process. Whether you are in Maidstone, Maribyrnong, or the surrounding suburbs in North West Melbourne, our goal is to make your pregnancy experience as comfortable, informed, and supportive as possible, making sure you have access to the best care available.
Yes, Shared Care is eligible for Medicare rebates. Your GP visits for routine care are covered by Medicare, which reduces the cost of your ongoing pregnancy check-ups. However, visits to specialist obstetricians or midwives are typically billed separately. It’s advisable to check with your healthcare providers to confirm the specific coverage for these services.
At Hampstead Medical, we’re here to support you through every stage of your pregnancy. Book an appointment with Dr. Cecile Arcena today to begin your shared care journey and ensure the health and wellbeing of both you and your baby.
We are a modern, patient-centred medical practice in Maidstone, VIC servicing the North-West Metro and surrounding suburbs. We are open 6 days a week, Monday to Saturday.
