Subject outline
In this subject students will examine the beginnings of life from conception through to the first 28 days following birth and builds on the earlier clinical and theoretical exposure to the normal newborn. The subject is designed to encourage the student to develop further understanding of the conditions associated with the 'at risk' infant. The student will have the opportunity to acquire and develop the necessary knowledge and skills to identify and give appropriate care for the 'at risk', sick or premature infant. They will explore issues relation to parenting for health infants and infants who have complex needs due to pathology.
