Annual report 2012: national neonatal audit programme
Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) - This audit measures neonatal units against a series of standards in
order to assess if babies receive the right level and consistency of
care across England and Wales. This year's report finds that more than
three quarters (79%) of the parents of babies in neonatal units are seen
by senior healthcare professionals within 24 hours of admission and the
majority of parents report positive experiences, but there is room for
improvement in areas such as breastfeeding rates and levels of
hypothermia in newborns.
