Clare's background is in midwifery / midwifery research. She joined the newborn hearing screening programme when it was still in its implementation phase. She then joined the newborn and infant physical examination (NIPE) team at the start of the development of the national NIPE SMART IT system. She now works across programmes as an information systems coordinator.
Reorganisation of child health information services might cause issues with newborn screening IT systems if local checks are not in place.
