Are 'red books' more practical online?

Available for over a year

A child’s “red book” is issued to their parents at birth and records key aspects of their health and development, from weight charts to immunisations. The government have announced the records are going digital as part of a trial next year, and from 2024 all children’s personal health records in England will be available online. The move is designed to improve NHS care for mothers and babies, but how will this change affect new parents and will they miss having the physical memento of their child’s first years? Midwife Marie Louise and BBC Health Correspondent Philippa Roxby join Jenni to discuss.
