New technology is helping parents with sick babies in special care baby units in Brighton and Haywards Heath.

The Early Birth Association has funded the vCreate video system to work alongside the iPads that the charity bought for the Trevor Mann Baby Unit in Brighton and Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath.

Together, they help parents stay better connected to their babies when they are unable to be there, which is particularly needed during the pandemic.

The EBA said it had so far helped 80 families across the two units, facilitating the sharing of updates, milestones and precious memories of babies to parents unable to be at their side.
