WINNER: Maternity Neonatal Voices Partnership and Royal Surrey County Hospital: Maternity Parent Portal

Maternity Neonatal Voices Partnership and Royal Surrey maternity team have worked together to create an excellent online digital resource for prospective parents called the Parent Portal. Developing and implementing this simple yet effective digital project has had a measurably positive impact on service users, providing them with a wealth of accessible, evidence-based information and resources as well as increasing accessibility to NHS midwife-led parent education classes (both virtual and face-to-face) and enhancing engagement through an inbuilt feedback feature. The portal puts parents in control of their pregnancy, birth and postnatal information/education needs without the need to google or take advice from social media, all while being accessible in 133 languages.
