This comprehensive two-day workshop is for medical practitioners, GP obstetricians, midwives and other health professionals seeking additional skills, knowledge and experience in caring for the newborn who is born early or in poor condition, and requires special and/or intensive care.
This engaging course is primarily delivered through skills work stations, case studies and simulations. You will have the opportunity to learn important practical skills including:
- Endotracheal intubation

We will run simulations of common neonatal scenarios where you learn essential skills in:
