Infancy is a critical period of rapid growth. Serious illnesses that occur during this time can impact long-term developmental and health outcomes. Many healthcare providers do not specialise in the care of infants and may not recognise serious illness or deterioration. It is vital that the warning signs of serious illness are recognised early and managed promptly.
The purpose of this course is to provide a practical and easy-to-follow resource to help nurses, midwives, and other healthcare professionals to carry out infant assessments, and manage their findings accordingly.
Assign mandatory training and keep all your records in-one-place.
