The Perinatal Institute has developed
documentation - Pregnancy Notes for the antenatal
period, Birth Notes for the intrapartum period,
and Postnatal Notes for the postnatal period. These
are available for NHS Trusts and Independent Midwives
to purchase. This can be either as a complete
documentation package or on an individual booklet
basis.
The Notes can be purchased
individually at £1 per booklet; alternatively
the complete documentation package is available
for £3.50. Additional complimentary
items are included with all orders.
Diabetes in pregnancy have
also been developed and are available for
75 pence per booklet including the clinic
held summary sheet. In addition, Pre-conception
Diabetes Notes were launched on the 18th
of May and Postnatal Bereavement notes are
currently being piloted and will be available
later this year.

We recommend health professionals
are trained to use the records prior to implementation
into clinical practice. For information about training
options, click here
The use of the notes has been increasing steadily
across the NHS. Currently around half the pregnancies
in England are being managed with the Pregnancy
Notes. See graph for
