System C has completed the rollout of its BadgerNet maternity platform across all seven NHS health boards in Wales, creating a single national digital maternity record and patient-facing app.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The implementation, first announced in early 2025<\/a>, means around 26,000 babies born in Wales each year will now be supported through one maternity information system, replacing local systems and removing the need for paper hand-held maternity notes.<\/p>\n

BadgerNet went live across the seven health boards in Wales between July 2025 and April 2026.<\/p>\n

Under the three-year national agreement, expectant parents can access maternity records, appointments and updates through one digital app, regardless of where they receive care in Wales.<\/p>\n

Clinicians are also able to securely access patient information across organisational boundaries at the point of care.<\/p>\n

The move is intended to improve continuity of care and reduce the administrative burden on both families and healthcare staff.<\/p>\n

Anthony Tracey,\u00a0director of digital at Hywel Dda\u00a0University Health Board,\u00a0the final Welsh health board to\u00a0go live with\u00a0BadgerNet,\u00a0said: \u201cThe rollout of\u00a0BadgerNet\u00a0across Wales is a vitally important step forward in modernising our\u00a0maternity\u00a0services\u00a0and providing a consistent service across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy giving expectant parents direct access to their information and enabling clinicians to share data more effectively, we are strengthening safety,\u00a0transparency\u00a0and consistency in maternity care\u00a0nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

For parents, the digital record aims to simplify interactions with maternity services by removing the need to carry paper notes or repeatedly provide the same information at appointments.<\/p>\n

The app gives expectant parents direct access to key details about their pregnancy and care, supporting more informed conversations and shared decision-making with clinicians.<\/p>\n

For clinicians and health boards, the system is designed to streamline handovers between teams and sites by allowing information to be digitally recorded once and securely shared wherever needed.<\/p>\n

The national rollout also creates a single dataset for maternity services across Wales, which could support service planning, benchmarking and population-level analysis.<\/p>\n

By linking standardised maternity data across the country, health boards will be able to identify trends and variations in care more easily, supporting earlier interventions and evidence-based policy decisions.<\/p>\n

Guy Lucchi, managing director of healthcare at System C<\/a>,\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cDelivering a truly national\u00a0approach\u00a0across all seven Health Boards is a significant achievement for Wales.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne shared system means information flows with the patient, not the organisation. That reduces duplication, supports earlier identification of\u00a0risk\u00a0and frees up valuable clinical time.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrucially, linking maternity data at a national level\u00a0provides\u00a0powerful insight to drive improvement. Health boards can benchmark, plan services with greater confidence and ensure resources are targeted where they are needed most,\u00a0while expectant parents\u00a0benefit\u00a0from clearer communication and a more connected experience of care.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The launch of the BadgerNet maternity systerm at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (Credit: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":989644,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5010],"tags":[274973,172639,748,274974,4884,274975,274976,171108,16,15,1764],"class_list":["post-989643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wales","tag-badgernet","tag-betsi-cadwaladr-university-health-board","tag-britain","tag-digital-maternity-records","tag-great-britain","tag-maternity-health-record","tag-maternity-system","tag-system-c","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-wales"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116650853431622293","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/989643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=989643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/989643\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/989644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=989643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=989643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=989643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
