vCreate Video Messaging Service

vCreate is a free Secure Video Messaging service that allows nursing staff to record and send you video updates of your baby whilst they are in NICU.

  • The system is secure and safe and you will be able to access the videos of your baby from any device. Unit staff will make short recordings for you to access at any time and will be created using an ipad before being uploaded and stored securely on the vCreate platform.
  • All parents wishing to access vCreate will have to complete a Privacy Notice, giving staff your permission to film your baby. You will also need to register for a vCreate account which is then approved by the team here on NICU. Once approved staff will be able to assign videos to the appropriate parent account.
  • You can login to watch the short clips at any time and will be alerted when new videos are available. A baby care video diary builds up over time which you will have access to 24 hours per day.
  • Unit staff will complete the short recordings when they are able and not at a designated time or rate. So please do not be disappointed if you do not receive a daily video.

When your baby is discharged here from University Hospital Plymouth, you will be able to download your baby's videos to keep. Once you have done this we will delete the videos and remove your parent account for Data Protection purposes.

There is more infomration on the vCreate website.
