Women receiving maternity care from University Hospitals Tees can now share quick, regular feedback on their pregnancy experience through an upgraded feature in an app that supports women throughout their maternity journey.
Badger Notes is a free and secure digital system that helps women track appointments, view treatment plans and access important information throughout their pregnancy. The system enables both women and their midwives to view up‑to‑date records instantly, with changes appearing in real time.
The app also gives women the option to share comments on their care at any stage of their pregnancy journey.
Laura Stephenson, digital midwife, said: “Listening to the women we care for is vital. Feedback is the best way for us to understand what we’re doing well and where we can improve. We always encourage women to tell us what’s working and what could be better.
Badger Notes is already really popular with the women under our care, so adding a quick and easy way to share feedback felt like a natural next step. The app is accessible, simple to use and available whenever women need it.
“Women can now let us know how we’re doing at any time, as often as they want. Our goal is to make every pregnancy journey safe, positive and supported — and hearing directly from the women we care for is essential to achieving that.”
In addition to offering live updates on pregnancy records, Badger Notes provides helpful features such as care planning tools and instant access to a comprehensive library of maternity information and leaflets.
