Strategy, Policy and Guidelines
Northern Neonatal Network
The Northern Neonatal Network reviewed its first Draft Strategy from July 2008 and this was ratified by the Network Board in April 2011. It can be found here
Guidelines Introduction
Guidelines are written for use across the Network and consist of general guidance of a non-clinical nature, as well as ones specifically written for use in clinical practice. All are ratified and signed off by the Network Board after following the agreed process and under the scrutiny of the Network Guideline Group. Once published below, they are available and designed to be used and followed by all Units, subject to periodic revisions as laid out in each and/or when new research becomes available. They are designed to supplement and compliment, not directly replace, any existing local Trust Policies unless unanimously agreed at Board level where they are of a clinical nature. These Guidelines seek to standardise appropriate areas of practice and care, improve quality and outcomes and are based on the best and most up to date evidence available and expert opinion drawn from representatives across the Network.
