Family Integrated Care in NICU | S3E59
We’re doing something a little differently today – discussing a topic in a round table format with parents and professionals in the same space. That topic is Family Integrated Care, what it is, what it looks like, how it can help and how to implement it.
Joining us today are:
- Emily, a Neonatal Consultant from Liverpool
- Chessie, a Clinical Psychologist from Bristol
- Colm, an Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioner from Northern Ireland
- And Sue, mum to Luke who was born at 30 weeks and spent two months in NICU
If you’ve heard the term Family Integrated Care talked about in your unit, experienced it or don’t know what it is at all – today’s episode will be really useful for you to truly understand why it’s such an important thing for NICUs to implement. After all, when a baby is in NICU, it’s not just the baby who’s going through that experience and it’s vital that parents are empowered to be partners in care, not just watching from the sidelines.
