About the event

UGMC’s training and simulation centre is organising the meeting with the IPOKRaTES Foundation for consultants, trainees and neonatal nurses. The programme combines expert teaching with case discussion and practical work relevant to neonatal intensive care.

Participants attending at UGMC will form hospital or country teams, develop improvement plans and discuss them with faculty. The scientific programme addresses infant feeding, human milk, neurodevelopment and collaborative use of neonatal outcome data. Remote attendance covers designated streamed sessions rather than the full practical programme.
