Multidisciplinary training to shape the future of neonatal practice
FINE is an internationally acclaimed educational pathway that translates scientific evidence into clinical practice. It equips healthcare professionals of all backgrounds with the knowledge and skills to deliver safe, neuroprotective, family-integrated care.
FINE encourages collaborative multidisciplinary learning, guiding caregivers to create an environment that promotes optimal brain development and fosters closeness between infants and parents. It explains and illustrates excellent, evidence-based neurodevelopmental care practice that enhances the experience of neonatal care for infant and family, and creates a rewarding professional environment.
The programme is tiered with clear steps that help each person to identify their accomplishments and their learning needs.
All our courses are available online. FINE aligns with the UK’s NHS Delivery Plan for Maternity and Neonatal Services, and the European Standards of Care for Newborn Health.
Neonatal care training that promotes clinical excellence in infant and family-centred developmental care.
FINE is a unique programme that gives neonatal professionals of all disciplines opportunities to develop knowledge and skills in steps that can be paced to their career needs, whether that means orientation for beginners, developing competent practice or leadership.
The three levels of FINE offer a guided progression from introductory learning to advanced practice. Each course is based on sound evidence and the principal that careful observation enables us to understand and respond to the unique needs of each infant and family. Reflection and active listening skills are embedded in the programme as essential elements of good practice. Our faculty is multidisciplinary and includes parents.
Students can only progress to the next level of training when they have completed the one before. They must complete FINE 1 before applying for FINE 2.
