We hope that it will make it easier for you to share and learn and that it will support you with ideas for introducing new initiatives on your unit/within your network, particularly in line with our Bliss Baby Charter principles.

Given that each unit has its own unique set-up, you may want to adapt these examples so that they fit within your neonatal context.

We hope that with your help the best practice bank will continue to grow. If you have something you would like to share, please email [email protected]
