Please bear with us
Our Badger Notes system is being switched on across the Trust in phases.
On Tuesday 10 October 2023, it will be going live in Antenatal and Community departments.
Our Maternity Service is making the change over to Badger Notes. This is a paperless, electronic system that will give mothers more access and control of their own pregnancy records and care notes in real-time.
