Exciting day as we launch recruitment for the Neo-SILT: Neonatal Someone Is Listening to Trauma study. 3 HSC trusts have approved recruitment with the 2 remaining trusts hopefully coming on in the next few weeks! Wish us luck!!! #perinatalmentalhealth

I hope that Northern Ireland can learn from the great strides that are happening with the British government to explore preterm births and the processes around the management, support and provisions- we need to improve NI neonatal services! @mikenesbittni

As ethical approval draws nearer- excitement builds to have each health and social care trust’s neonatal unit ready for the Neo-SILT recruitment. Watch this space..

Attending @ucddublin for the 2nd International Research conference. 1st stop Co-Design workshop. @ucdsnmhs @DarbyColm

These feelings are not just experienced by parents of preterm babies but all parents that have a baby in the neonatal unit. How we approach care, explanation and support is important from the first moment of interaction with parents. #coinn2024

Excited to be travelling to Aalborg for the @COINNurses to present the Neo-SILT PPI involvement in the protocol development. Parent voices are so important especially in neonatal research. @NNAUK1 #nursesinresearch

Was a great opportunity to present the @NeoSILTstudy protocol to the nurses at the @NNAUK1 NI conference. Gathering a snap shot of nurses perception of PTSD rates in parents within their units- very interesting! Clear result- parents need more support!
