Benchmark, plan and grow your neonatal outreach service

Created for Neonatal Outreach Teams, this unique forum will provide practical steps to benchmark your current outreach service against the BAPM framework, and guide you in placing identified gaps into a clear and compelling business case. With input from peers and success stories from services already delivering phototherapy, home tube feeding, home oxygen and IV antibiotics, you will gain the evidence and confidence you need to expand your neonatal community service.
