Healthcare Practice (Neonatal)

The neonatal programme consists of three modules designed to develop the practitioner’s depth of knowledge and skills to care for neonatal intensive care babies and families with complex needs. Split over one academic year (three trimesters), it equips students with the knowledge and skills to become effective neonatal practitioners with varied and comprehensive study areas. 

At the end of the course, students will be awarded a Postgraduate Certificate in Healthcare practice - Neonatal Pathway. Please note that all three modules must be completed to gain the Postgraduate Certificate.
