ABOUT

A teaching hub for neonatal units.

The Neonatal Learning Hub is a free educational resource for paediatric registrars and other clinicians caring for newborns, built to help you recognise, reason and manage, with the physiology and evidence alongside.

Educational use only Central Coast, NSW Special care nursery & NICU

WHAT THIS SITE IS

A study and revision reference

It sets out the key conditions in each system with pathophysiology, clinical findings and management, so you can build a working understanding before and between your shifts on the unit.

WHO IT'S FOR

Built for the nursery team

  • Paediatric registrars rotating through the special care nursery and NICU.
  • Junior medical staff, students and nursing colleagues wanting a structured overview.
  • Anyone preparing for teaching, exams, or a return to neonatal work.

CENTRAL COAST FOCUS

Written for local practice

This resource is written with neonatal practice on the Central Coast (NSW) in mind, including local referral and retrieval pathways, for example escalation from the special care nursery and NETS transfer to a tertiary NICU.

If you're working in another health service, treat the Hub as a learning aid and check everything against your own local guidelines, which may differ.
