There's still time for parents in Dundee who received Hello In There Wee One from their midwife to share their experiences in this short survey - it will help us to expand the resource and offer it to more families 👶🤱😊

At the end of the survey you will also be invited to tell us more by taking part a short phone interview with a voucher as a thank you

Did you receive ‘Hello in there wee one’ from your midwife during your pregnancy?

Together our teams at NHS Tayside and University of Dundee are exploring the experiences of families and their midwives with the ‘Hello in there Wee One’ resources to help us make sure these are supporting families.

We’d like to ask you to complete a short survey about how you found the book.
