Neonatal Care: Clinical Decision Making  CPD

It is vital that neonatal care professionals are able to develop and enhance their level of understanding and ability to participate in clinical decision-making, to keep up with the demands of the service and the complexities of the neonates presenting to them.

For those who have completed the two core neonatal modules (NM3245 and NM3246), or equivalent, this module enables this level of development to occur and for you to engage more actively in clinical problem-solving and role development. The module is also suitable on a stand alone basis as part of an update of knowledge. Download module flyer
