The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Foundation Trust partnered with Xtag Medical to implement an advanced infant security system at New Cross Hospital. The installation ensures newborns remain safe from unauthorised movement while giving staff and parents complete peace of mind.
Client Background
New Cross Hospital, part of The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Foundation Trust, provides maternity care to thousands of families across the West Midlands each year. The Trust continually invests in digital innovation and patient safety, aligning with NHS England’s standards for safeguarding and modern maternity care.
The Challenge
Manual identification and paper-based tracking exposed potential for human error.
No automated monitoring to detect unauthorised baby movement from secure zones.
Increased administrative workload for midwives verifying transfers and discharges.
Strategic goal to strengthen CQC compliance and demonstrate proactive risk management.
The Xtag system has been a valuable addition to our maternity unit. It’s reassuring for both staff and parents to know every baby is continuously monitored. The setup was smooth, the support excellent, and it’s now an integral part of our daily operations.
