The Easter bunny has been! Happy Easter everyone 🐣

A very interesting review and results. We have moved to using NIPPV for extreme preterms with RDS and have noted a reduction in extubation failure.

I have often wondered why despite such strong evidence, a simple intervention like administration of probiotics is only practiced in 20 odd% units across UK. Happy to say our premies have begun to have this goodie😉. Thanks Paul Clarke for the guidance NICU, Burnley General Hospital

Thanks MatNeoSIP for having me speak of optimal cord management experience in our unit. Great experience sharing and learning from all NW units . Such focused initiatives are very helpful #Matneo

Thinking of all the babies affected by NEC and what we can do as a unit to reduce the incidence. #NECAwarenessDay

Twice in a row that NICU, Burnley General Hospital has been nominated for quality in perinatal work for BAPM awards. Well done jasim shihab and team. NW Neonatal ODN East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust 💙

Well done to Kirsty Hartley, Dr Raji Seethamraju and the team on their presentation of implementing a nurse led ward round at the NW Neonatal ODN study day. A great intervention offering more autonomy to the nurses and greater involvement for parents!

A great presentation by Dr Rhia Netherton at the NW Neonatal ODN study day. We are very proud to say that thermoregulation at delivery has improved significantly at LWNC following these implementations.

An excellent workshop by AMITAVA SUR and team at the NW Neonatal ODN study day, showing the great work they have done to reduce intubation rates in preterm infants by maintaining adequate PEEP from delivery.

Thanks to NW Neonatal ODN and all the faculty for a great study day! So many fantastic projects shared. We look forward to seeing what we can implement and improve on at LWNC to improve care for all our babies.
