Course information
About the online learning
The aim of the course is to give you the knowledge and ideas to help you take good care of every baby you see, whether they are well and strong, or sick or very small.
The emphasis is on simple measures which safeguard vulnerable babies and give them the best possible start, but later modules will take you into the more complex diagnoses and treatments undertaken in more advanced neonatal units.
The course stresses throughout the importance of involving the parents in the care of their baby, and giving them the confidence and knowledge to cope well when the baby goes home.
The early modules are relevant for any healthcare worker who is involved with mothers and babies, whether a midwife, nurse, primary healthcare worker or doctor.
Later modules cover the care of a baby in the neonatal unit, and will be of interest to nurses and doctors working there or rotating through as part of their training.

As of 1st September 2016 the Revalidation and CPD team of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health no longer allocates a number CPD credits to courses or events. The removal of credits associated with events allows delegates to record the educational benefit of the activity through written reflection, in contrast to quantifying the significance based on the time duration of the course. This is in accordance with changes made to the CPD Scheme guidelines published in April 2016.
Detailed information and scheme guidance can be found on the RCPCH website
When recording the activity, delegates should focus on the reflection and detail the following:
- What did you learn?
- What effect has/will the learning had/have on your current practice?
- What further learning or action, if any, is needed as a result of the original learning activity?
Should you have any questions regarding the removal of credits, please feel free to contact the CPD team
