Baby scans can be shared with friends and family overseas
Superintendent sonographer Gill Grundy, lead consultant obstetrician Dr Sarah Flint, clinical director Dr Oliver Chappatte, Ultrasound Manager’s head of business department Sylvia Collins and sonographer Julia Bone.
Mums-to-be at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust can now securely watch video and images of their pregnancy scan online using iBabyScan. These can be viewed at home, on mobile phones, iPads and laptops, or shared with friends and family anywhere in the world by email, Facebook, Twitter or YouTube.
Tunbridge Wells Hospital clinical director, women’s services, Dr Oliver Chappatte said: “Whilst our primary role in the women’s ultrasound department is to provide a diagnostic scan to ascertain the wellbeing of the baby, we recognise and value that a pregnancy scan is also a time to reassure parents and provides them with an opportunity to bond with their unborn baby. We are therefore pleased to offer iBabyScan as part of the diagnostic scan.”
