Bliss Statement
In response to the growing intensity of the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals across the UK have severely limited who is able to come onto hospital sites in an attempt to reduce the spread of infections.
Ensuring the safety of vulnerable babies on neonatal units during the COVID-19 outbreak is paramount. But parents are not visitors, and they need to continue to be partners in delivering their baby’s care and decision making.

Bliss now have a letter of support that can be sent to Trusts to outline the importance of removing barriers to parents being with their baby. Contact us to request a letter. BAPM also have a letter that can be downloaded to support unrestricted access for parents.
