Neonatal Care (Qualification in Specialty)

This module aims to develop learner’s knowledge and understanding of the essential health concerns regarding neonates. In undertaking this module, learners will understand the importance of an evidence-based care planning, combining a systematic approach to neonatal assessment, synthesising their findings with taught theory from this module, policies and national guidelines.

This module aims to offer learners an opportunity to develop their knowledge establishing an understanding of the health concerns and needs of neonate requiring critical care.

The module will enable the learner to provide safe standards and develop their holistic approach to complex care of a neonate and their family, in conjunction with the multi-disciplinary team. Throughout the module there will be exploration and discussion on the provision of neonatal intensive services, whilst considering the ethical and moral dilemmas related to a neonate’s potentially life-threating or life-limiting prognosis.

On completion of this module the learner will achieve a Qualification in Specialty (QIS), mapped against The British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM, 2012) core syllabus for clinical competence, to provide assurance of standardisation and national application.
