Antenatal care is one of the most critical stages in the maternity journey. It helps identify health risks, monitors fetal development, and supports women emotionally and physically throughout pregnancy. But for many NHS Trusts, managing these pathways efficiently remains a challenge.
MiRecord offers a digital maternity record system tailored to streamline antenatal care. It enables clinicians to document, review, and personalise care more effectively while helping teams communicate in real-time.
NHS antenatal guidelines set out a clear schedule of appointments, tests, and scans, including blood pressure checks, anomaly scans, diabetes screening, and fetal growth assessments. Proper coordination of these services is essential to avoid missed risks and ensure timely intervention. (NHS.uk Antenatal care)
MiRecord supports these clinical pathways by providing:
This ensures clinicians follow a consistent pathway, reducing the chance of overlooked information.
Women frequently move between community, GP, and hospital appointments. When records are kept in silos, details can be missed or duplicated.
MiRecord acts as a shared digital record across services, so whether it’s a midwife in a clinic or a consultant in a hospital, everyone accesses the same up-to-date record. Any notes from community visits, risk assessments, or test results are logged and viewable in real-time.
This integration helps reduce admin duplication, supports quicker decision-making, and keeps the entire care team aligned.
Every pregnancy is different. Personalised care is now central to NHS maternity planning, with an emphasis on recognising individual circumstances, histories, and choices.
