Access your maternity notes
Barnsley Hospital Maternity services use Badger Notes to provide people to access their maternity records through a PC, tablet, or smartphone.
What is Badger Notes?
Badger Notes supports you through your pregnancy. It is an app for smartphones and devices which allows you to:
- Add details about yourself, such as your job and any allergies
- Add your plans and preferences for your care before, during and after your baby’s birth
- Feed back regarding your antenatal care, labour and birth experiences
Benefits of using BadgerNotes instead of paper notes include:
- Information can be shared directly with you
- Records can be easily updated at each maternity visit or appointment
- Midwives do not have to double enter data onto paper notes and an internal system
- Greater security and privacy, as only those with the correct login details are able to access your notes (similar to internet banking)
Care plan
- See a week by week timeline of your pregnancy
- Learn about your baby’s development
- Access information recommended by your midwife
- Write a personal diary
Maternity Record
- View extracts of information direct from your medical record
- View the members of your care team
- Watch the ‘Antenatal care summary’ report grow into a record of your key pregnancy events
Conversations
- Submit thoughts and questions about your antenatal care, birth plan, and postnatal care to your midwife to review at your next scheduled visit
You do not have to use the Badger Notes app. We have other options available for people who are not able to access the app.
