Examination of the Newborn Online uses real-life video to demonstrate the examination of a newborn baby - a statutory requirement for all babies. With over 30 minutes of footage covering the full examination from top to toe, and shorter clips focusing on particular sections, all aspects of this examination are covered:

  • Information about equipment, history-taking, etc
  • Full real-life, head-to-toe examination
  • Flexible format enabling section-by-section viewing
  • Commentary explains how to carry out the examination and what to look for
  • Demonstration of giving important information to parents

 Examination of the Newborn Online gives midwifery students, practising midwives, health visitors, neonatal nurses and other professionals involved in the care of a newborn baby the opportunity to study or revise their skills in their own time, without the presence of a live baby.

Audience
Midwifery students and practising midwives
