PReCePT
This interactive e-learning resource has been designed for perinatal healthcare professionals to support education around the administration of magnesium sulphate for neuroprotection to mothers in preterm labour. Building on current NICE guidance, and the successful roll out of the national PReCePT programme, this module will guide clinicians through the clinical benefits of administering magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) to mothers who go into labour before 30 weeks gestation. It will provide information on the neuroprotective qualities of this cost-effective and readily available drug, the detail of how it is administered and the positive impact it can have on the lives of neonates and their families..

Neonatal Jaundice

National reporting has highlighted an increase in the number of babies being readmitted with hyperbilirubinemia. Neonatal jaundice, caused by the build-up of bilirubin in the blood, is a common condition which is usually harmless, requires no treatment or responds to phototherapy. On rare occasions it can cause brain damage as a result of excess bilirubin leading to kernicterus.

Bereavement
This programme has been written to share the elements of good bereavement care. Click here
It has been developed by a collaboration of charities, professional organisations and people with first-hand experience to improve bereavement care and reduce variability in care after:
  • Miscarriage, which is pregnancy loss or the death of an unborn baby before 24 weeks of pregnancy
  • Ectopic pregnancy, when the pregnancy develops outside of the uterus
  • Molar pregnancy, when an abnormal fertilised egg implants in the uterus – the placental tissue develops even though the egg doesn’t
  • Termination of pregnancy after a prenatal diagnosis
  • Stillbirth, when a baby dies before or during birth at or after 24 weeks of pregnancy
  • Neonatal death, when a baby dies within 28 days of birth
  • Sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI), when a baby or toddler under 1 year dies suddenly and unexpectedly
