A new elearning programme has been launched to help healthcare professionals improve outcomes for babies, mothers and families through the delivery of safer care.
The learning modules, developed by Health Education England elearning for healthcare, NHS Improvement and a range of experts, focus on four clinical areas:
- respiratory conditions
- hypoglycaemia
- jaundice
- asphyxia (perinatal hypoxia–ischaemia).
An additional module also raises awareness of the importance of keeping mother and baby together.
The programme is part of the Avoiding Term Admissions unto Neonatal units “Atain” initiative, which aims to reduce avoidable causes of harm that can lead to infants born at term (ie ≥ 37+0 weeks gestation) being admitted to a neonatal unit.
