Psychologically-Informed Neonatal Care

Our Psychologically-Informed Neonatal Care elearning course supports better outcomes for babies, families and staff.

Psychologically-informed care takes into account the needs of everyone in the maternity unit, and considers how best to support them for better outcomes. For families this can include managing better while on the unit and being well post-discharge. For staff, psychologically informed care sustains us too through our work that can be challenging at times.

Developed in the UK but suitable for learners around the world, the course is an ideal introduction to the topic for everyone in the neonatal workforce – including nurses, doctors, Allied Health Professionals, healthcare assistants and nursery nurses.

Good psychosocial support does not end at discharge. The course is also a perfect development resource for community-based members of the wider workforce providing infants & families long-term support.

Once completed, you will not only know more about psychologically-informed care but also have ideas about how this learning can be implemented into your daily work. It also provides a better sense of the impact of the work on the carers themselves and what they can do to help them manage.

This highly engaging, online training course was developed by NHS England, the Association of Clinical Psychologists and other neonatal networks, and the elearning experts at NHS England elearning for healthcare.

Ensuring this course meets the real-world training needs of the neonatal workforce and offers a world-class elearning experience.
