The Neonatal Resuscitation Programme (NRP) is mandatory for all healthcare providers involved with newborn and neonatal care. CIME in collaboration with the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health organised NRP to improve the competence and performance of NICU staff.
For the first time, the use of the high-fidelity ‘Super Tory’ was integrated into the programme with great effect. Participants learned to recognise the common problems in the NICU set up when receiving a baby, troubleshoot when the baby is in distress, recognise when there is no improvement and take corrective steps, work in a team and communicate effectively, using the knowledge gained to think critically and manage a sick newborn baby.
