The Tommy’s pregnancy information service
2014/15
Tommy’s midwives have answered 3,754 phone calls and emails from families
experiencing complex problems in pregnancy and seeking their detailed expert advice.
Tommy’s Midwives have tested a Facebook page and in three months achieved 7,500
followers as we learn more about how to reach women with both informative but
engaging pregnancy information content.
We continue to develop our website content including new sections on mental health,
diabetes and a new pregnancy calendar achieving an average of 440,000 monthly page
views.
Tommy’s has distributed over 1m pieces of printed pregnancy information including
133,000 pregnancy books and leaflets.
Tommy’s launched an app for parents of premature babies that is being used by 2,460
parents in the first six months.
Tommy’s were one of the first organisations to achieve and have maintained the NHS
England Information Standard Accreditation which ensures our process for producing
pregnancy information is evidence based, regularly reviewed and designed to meet
pregnant women’s needs.
We estimate that we reach up to 70% of all pregnant women in the UK and almost all
parents who have a premature baby.
