Project : Develop and deliver a new training and development course focusing on the complexities of preterm and neonatal emergencies for clinicians working in a prehospital environment.

Preterm is when a baby is born too early, before the 37 weeks of pregnancy has been completed.

The funding from the Jude Morris innovation and Development Fund will enable TVAA and partners (Royal Berks NHS and Oxford Academic Health Science Network) to develop and deliver a new training and development program focusing on the complexities of preterm and neonatal emergencies for clinicians working in a prehospital environment.

Outcomes and Impact
Create a training package for shared learning and producible for other Air Ambulances, community education midwifes and ambulance service education and training teams.
• By completing this training course, we expect clinicians to have improved knowledge and confidence of attending prehospital preterm neonatal emergencies.
• Improved communication with parents, better parent experience which in turn leads to less mental trauma.
