  • Stay involved in decisions about your care

With Badger Notes, you can:

Badger Notes aims to make your care:

  • More personal - you can share what matters most to you

  • More connected - everyone caring for you can see the same up-to-date information

Once you’ve downloaded and opened the app, click "create an account". You will nee:

Before your first appointment, it is helpful if you enter some information into your record via BadgerNotes:
  • ​Log into BadgerNotes
  • Select "My Personal Care Plan"
  • Select the link in the Pre-Booking section and enter as much information as you can. This will give the midwife more time to spend with you to answer any questions while at your appointment
  • Your midwife will check this information with you at the booking
