In 2017 we launched 'Neonatal November'.  One of the key drivers for this was to have a wider period of time to raise awarness of neonatal journeys.  In addition, we were conscious that there are many 'non-premature' neonatal journeys each year (ie the full-term babies with health issues and/or complications) and we wanted to widen beyond World Prematurity Day on November 17th.  

There's a range of activity happening in our regions in September. We've pulled this together into one page as an overall update. 

Father's day is a special day for many.  For hundreds of families on Sunday 2nd September, their memories will be different to most . . .       There are over 360 incubators and cots in neonatal units across New Zealand. While the unit is the best place for the care of their baby (or babies, in the case of multiples) they would love to be home on Fathers day. We have organised a pick-me-up package to each and every family with a baby in a neonatal unit to brighten their day.

Supporting neonatal-related medical research is one the three core objectives of The Neonatal Trust.  Through advances in understanding and clinical care, we can help thousands of future babies - in NZ and around the world.
