Course content

Our flexible Neonatal Critical Care course has been developed in line with the National Standards for neonatal Qualified In Specialty (QIS) education (2024) to support neonatal practitioners to develop the knowledge and skills to excel in their field.

This course is for neonatal practitioners who want to develop their knowledge and skills in caring for the neonate and their family. It has been designed to equip you with the knowledge, critical thinking skills, and proactive approach necessary to excel as a neonatal practitioner, ready to meet the complex challenges of modern neonatal care. You will explore both the underpinning physiology and care provision required for practice. All aspects of the role will be considered from the fundamentals to high dependency and intensive care.

Neonatal practitioners provide care for an extremely vulnerable population and need to undertake accredited training appropriate to a Qualification in Specialty (QIS) (DH, 2009) in a neonatal setting. This course has been developed to align with the National standards for neonatal qualified in specialty (QIS) education (2024).
