Neonatal care is fast-paced and we always strive to achieve the best possible outcome for each baby and family. We perform audits on a daily basis and use evidence-based medicine to guide improvement.
We have a dedicated Senior Research Nurse who oversees all clinical studies, supported by a part-time Senior Staff Nurse working on the unit and within research.
Mags is our full-time dedicated Research Nurse, with extensive experience, having worked for seven years in a Phase 1–accredited Paediatric Clinical Research Facility.
Our Neonatal Consultant team has comprehensive expertise across both neonatal intensive care and clinical research. We welcome enquiries regarding future research projects you may wish to conduct within our unit.
