Today we would like to recognise and honour the vital work of neonatal nurses who provide specialised care for newborn infants, particularly those who are sick or premature.
Premature babies can have specific problems such as respiratory difficulties or nutritional needs that can be life threatening. Neonatal Nurses are a crucial part of the team that ensures that treatment is given promptly and appropriately.
Providing 24-hour care, Neonatal Nurses work across intensive care, high dependency and special care baby units and in community settings, providing continuing care and support for babies and their families who have been recently discharged from hospital.
International Neonatal Nurses Day is an opportunity to momentarily stop and reflect on the incredible hard work and dedication demonstrated by neonatal nurses around the world every day.
