Topic: The role of a neonatal nurse in emerging research
Cindy Campbell started her journey in the NICU at King Edward Memorial Hospital in 1998. After stepping away for 10 years to raise four children, Cindy returned to neonatal nursing in 2011 and completed a Certificate in Critical Care Nursing in 2022. More recently Cindy moved into research, focusing on neonatal skin. This has been a steep learning curve, but also a fascinating one, and now realising how important skin is for protecting and supporting the growth of preterm neonates. The possibilities for improvement in this area is exciting including being involved in a trial investigating a product designed to protect the fragile skin of extremely preterm neonates.
