Overview This course is for neonatal practitioners who want to develop their knowledge and skills in caring for the neonate and their family. It has been designed to equip you with the knowledge, critical thinking skills, and proactive approach necessary to excel as a neonatal practitioner, ready to meet the complex challenges of modern neonatal care. You will explore both the underpinning physiology and care provision required for practice. All aspects of the role will be considered from the fundamentals to high dependency and intensive care. Neonatal practitioners provide care for an extremely vulnerable population and need to undertake accredited training appropriate to a Qualification in Specialty (QIS) (DH, 2009) in a neonatal setting. This course has been developed to align with the National standards for neonatal qualified in specialty (QIS) education (2024).

If the student does not have a BSc Degree or equivalent, then they must have 2 years of healthcare experience and recent level 6 study in the past 5 Years.To prevent duplication of study, a student that has previously completed a Level 6 module or award within the last 5 years cannot access the equivalent award at Level 7.Students wishing to have recognition of prior learning must have either: the BCU post graduate certificate in Neonatal Critical Care, BCU post graduate diploma in Neonatal Critical Care, an external Post Graduate Certificate or postgraduate diploma that can be mapped to appropriate modules on the BCU MSc Neonatal Critical Care in accordance with BCU RPL policy and academic regulations.
