Welcome to the Neonatal Jaundice Study Day Programme, where we delve into a critical aspect of neonatal care: jaundice in babies with darker skin tones. While neonatal jaundice is a common condition, its detection and management can present unique challenges in infants with darker skin tones. This programme explores these challenges, shares best practices, and enhances our collective knowledge. This resource is designed for healthcare professionals who care for parents and their newborn babies.
The recordings of these presentations were taken during the live Neonatal Jaundice Study Day Programme: Jaundice in Darker Skin Tone Babies, which took place on [date] and has been made available to a wider audience with permission from the orgainser, Dr Helen Gbinigie, and the speakers.

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
