Neurodevelopmental Care SIG
The focus of the Neurodevelopmental Care (NDC) SIG is to support the provision of infant and family centred developmental care (IFCDC) across neonatal settings in Australia. The goal is to promote consistency in the provision of neuroprotective developmental care strategies, and support best neurodevelopmental outcomes for vulnerable premature and sick infants. The SIG aims to raise awareness in the neonatal setting of neuroprotective developmental care as a conscious individualised practice that is considered the best standard of care.
