Neonatal Nursing Graduate Certificate

About

This programme is for practitioners registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) who are currently employed within the field of neonatal nursing.

It will prepare you to critically explore the management of ill newborn babies in a variety of settings in order to develop and expand your role in neonatal care.

The course at UWS gave me strong evidence based knowledge and the ability to question practice in order to provide the best care for our babies and their families. The implementation of Family Integrated Care and the vital importance of developmentally supportive care to optimise outcomes is now embedded in our practice. I would commend the course at UWS to anyone keen to develop their professional practice.
