FINE training is recommended to health professionals by Bliss, primarily through their Bliss Baby Charter audit programme. Within the first of seven principles, units are requested to evidence their developmental care practices, the foundations of which are covered in FINE training.
The NIDCAP Federation International (NFI) provides advanced training in neurobehavioural observation and care planning and a programme for assessing and developing infant and family centred developmental care in the neonatal unit. The NFI endorses FINE as preparation for NIDCAP training. The website has a variety of information sources for parents and professionals and lists its worldwide network of training centres, many of which are also FINE training Centres.
