Module Overview / Introduction

In the Foundations for Neonatal Care module you will focus upon developing the specialist knowledge and skills to provide a high standard of low dependency neonatal care to infants and their families, in a variety of care settings. It is a requirement of the module that you are employed as a health care provider involved in the care of neonates for example: health visitor, neonatal nurse, paediatric nurse, health care assistant or nursery nurse. The Foundations for Neonatal Care module can be studied as a standalone module and is also a pre-requisite for registered nurses accessing the high dependency neonatal care and the intensive neonatal nursing care modules. Successful completion of the three modules enables registered nurses to become neonatal nurses Qualified in Speciality (RCN 2012).

Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring, review and update of modules and regular (five-yearly) review of course programmes. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes and their constituent modules, there will normally be prior consultation of students and others. It is also possible that the University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff or sabbatical leave. In some cases optional modules can have limited places available and so you may be asked to make additional module choices in the event you do not gain a place on your first choice. Where this is the case, the University will endeavour to inform students.

Every effort has been made to provide information that is current and accurate. Nevertheless, inadvertent errors in information may occur.
