The BDA Neonatal Sub-Group has welcomed the publication of Baroness Amos’ review into maternity and neonatal services:

It says:

“We recognise the invaluable contribution of the families, staff and neonatal dietitians who shared their experiences with the review. Our thoughts remain with harmed and bereaved families, whose voices must continue to be central to all future improvement work.

“We welcome Bliss’ response to the review and its continued focus on ensuring that neonatal services and the needs of babies receiving neonatal care are fully reflected in national improvement plans. In particular, we support the recognition of the vital role played by the wider multidisciplinary team, including allied health, psychological and pharmacy professionals, in delivering safe, high-quality neonatal care.

“We would advocate further recognition of the contribution of neonatal dietitians and other allied health professionals in future national work arising from the review…”
