Neonatal Guidelines 20222024 1st Robert Negrine Neonatal Editor by Robert Negrine (neonatal Editor), Sagarika Ray (neonatal Editor) instant download after payment.

These guidelines have been compiled as an aide-memoire for all staff concerned with the
management of neonates, to work towards a more uniform standard of care across the West
Midlands Neonatal Operational Delivery Networks’ hospitals (https://www.networks.nhs.uk/nhsnetworks/
west-midlands-neonatal-operational-delivery/neonatal-guidelines)
These guidelines have been drafted with reference to published medical literature and amended
after extensive consultation. Wherever possible, the recommendations made are evidence based.
Where no clear evidence has been identified from published literature the advice given
represents a consensus of the expert authors and their peers and is based on their practical
experience.
No guideline will apply to every patient, even where the diagnosis is clear-cut; there will alwaysbe exceptions. These guidelines are not intended as a substitute for logical thought and must be
tempered by clinical judgement in the individual patient and advice from senior colleagues.
There is a possibility that a guideline may be updated between publication and the next edition in
2 years’ time. Any instrumental change in guideline before the next edition will be published on
the network website https://www.networks.nhs.uk/nhs-networks/west-midlands-neonataloperational-
delivery.
The guidelines are advisory, NOT mandatory.
