We know that children can be affected if they have a sibling born premature or sick.

For #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek , what tips do you have for parents on the neonatal unit who have children at home?

So exciting to see our Acute Nurse Education Programme & Competencies almost finalised & ready to be launched at the end of this month 🙌 @wuthnhs #investinginstaff #developingcompetence #improvingquality

**Save the Date** 2nd Manchester Neonatal Surgery Day: a Meeting for all NW Partners. 1st May 2020. #neonatalsurgery RMCHosp @MFT_SMH NW Neonatal ODN Neonatal Surgery BAPS

We're delighted that the Queens Speech brings forward new legislation, set out in the Employment Bill, that will allow parents in neonatal care to take extended leave.

This will mean so much to the thousands of families admitted to neonatal care each year. (1/3)

Thankful to all the staff @MFT_SMH #NICU for the ongoing care of my #granddaughter and for the gifts #WorldPrematurityDay you have my #heart 💖

Love this from Flo.. it's not always easy, but it's the key to good leadership ❤️
