Funded by The Tiny Lives Trust.
The aim of the project was to create specific knowledge and training for health visitors and their teams to equip them to support families of preterm and sick babies who had been on neonatal units. Resources were developed through evidence-synthesis and engagement with families, practitioners and subject-matter experts to improve our knowledge of families' needs, and to enable health visitors to work effectively with families and provide tailored family-centred support.
A Neonatal Families Ambassador training programme was developed with resources to support practice, including:
- A range of resources detailing the different experience of families who have had a baby on the neonatal unit
- E-learning
- Cascade training materials
- A-Z of useful organisations
