It’s hard to imagine a critically ill baby without their parents by their side, but families are being kept apart.
Sadly, many families with babies in neonatal care are being kept apart by a lack of accommodation on the neonatal unit.
In fact, for every 10 babies in neonatal care there is only one room available for parents to stay with them.
We think this needs to change, and need your help.
Engaging healthcare professionals with this issue is a vital step in pushing for change.
We’re raising £6,295 to fund a free training webinar which will equip healthcare professionals with the tools they need to best support parents who are forced to leave their babies overnight.
We have a long-standing history of providing training webinars and supporting the development of healthcare professionals. In the last year alone, 545 professionals including doctors, nurses and psychologists attended our webinars to discuss neonatal care, how they can best support families and improve outcomes for babies born premature or sick.
"The hardest part of the journey was when I was discharged, and I had to leave my tiny 3-day old baby in a London hospital that I couldn't reach whenever I wanted to."
Spread the word: Share our Crowdfunder with your friends, family and colleagues who might be interested in making a difference to the lives of neonatal parents and their babies.
Give a gift: Bring us one step closer to our goal of £6,295 and provide healthcare professionals with free access to our #FamiliesKeptApart webinar.
