Single maternity record system

NHS Trusts across Lancashire and South Cumbria have worked together to establish a single maternity record to enable pregnancy notes to be shared between hospitals and health services.

Software is rolled out to the four hospital Trusts across Lancashire and South Cumbria so that data can be shared across all organisations, wherever the pregnant woman is. 

This means that mums-to-be will only be asked for information once and will no longer need to carry their paper record with them at all times and time is saved for staff.
