About this workshop

More babies are surviving after neonatal intensive care with lifelong healthcare needs. The transition from neonatal care into paediatric inpatient services, including critical care, is challenging for families and staff. There are practical differences in provision of care and there is evidence that staff in involved  services have different attitudes and approaches to the care of these babies and families. This workshop will provide information on this recently released BAPM framework for practice  and provide an opportunity for attendees to explore the process and discuss challenges and solutions for improving the experience for babies, staff and families.
