Those entering these roles benefit from a local induction and may participate in the Network Foundations in Neonatal Care course, wither fully or partially, based on your role.  This equips you with essential baseline knowledge in evidenced-based neonatal care.

​

Your career can progress further with the Qualified in Specialty (QIS) Course, offered by universities across the East Midlands.  As a neonatal nurse, you can work across areas like intensive care, high dependency, special care, transitional care, homecare, and transport, or focus on a specific area of expertise.

We offer a clear career pathway with extensive development opportunities, including advanced clinical practice, education and training, leadership and management, neonatal transport, homecare (community), and research.

​

To become a Neonatal Nurse, you must be a Registered (Adult or Child Branch) Nurse or Midwife working on a neonatal unit and you must have completed Qualified in Speciality training.

​

Alternatively, you can start your journey in neonatal care in a non-registered role, such as Nursing Associate, clinical support worker, or nursery nurse. You could then  be supported in obtaining a registered nurse qualification, before going on to complete Qualified in Specialty training.
