Introduction to Palliative Care (available throughout the year)
Collaboration to enhance support for families and healthcare professionals
This 2-hour Introduction to Neonatal Palliative Care is open to all health care professionals working with families in their perinatal journey. The aim of this is to ensure that babies and their families receive the best possible care at the most challenging time of their lives. The session is made up of bite sized presentations from a variety of parent and health care professional speakers with time for questions and discussion throughout. The same programme is offered each time to enable all staff the chance to attend this training.
The training is endorsed by the NNA, Together for Short Lives, Bliss and BAPM.
