Oxleas ProParent

Oxleas ProParent is an exciting and innovative mobile app for new parents with easy access to NHS assured, evidence-based reference material. Residents in the Boroughs of Greenwich & Bexley will be the first to have fast, easy access to location based information on their local services.
This is the first release of this exciting new app and we are committed to working with parents and professionals to enhance and develop the app to provide an even more supportive and inclusive service to new parents.

Key Features:
Local Services: Provides quick and easy information for parents to find their local Health Visitor Teams and Children’s centres. Here, parents will also be able to locate information on the times, dates and locations of their nearest Baby and Child Health Clinics

Child Health Information: This section gives parents a quick source of quality assured and Health Visitor recommended reference material to help empower new parents to be able to find answers to their questions and use as support when certain services are traditionally unavailable.

Events: Parents will have access to the upcoming events in Greenwich and Bexley, from seeing what sports and leisure activities are available, the locations of parks and open spaces through to information on story times at your local library.

Professional Reference Guide: The app is designed to assist professionals in Child Health by providing quick access to reference material to support new staff and provide a regularly updated evidence base for ongoing professional development.

Quotes:
“When you google, it’s more confusing and conflicting. It is good to have the one [source] that the Health Visitors back up with evidences”
“This is a way to get that piece of information needed quickly without going through realms of paper”
“Valuable resource, more relevant… Gives mothers power. Don’t know why we haven’t had this before!”
