November 6, 201510 yr Hi how are you >>its first time to celebrate the world prematurity day in our hospital and our consultants are asking us for active participations so any ideas ? iam thinking of preparing lectures on : KMC , Nutritional support for Pt babies , golden hour .. we dont have a good protocol to follow in these topics so it will be of great value so any help ?
November 13, 201510 yr I think the main idea behind world prem day is to promote the message on preterm birth to the public. Here in Sweden, the 17th of Nov is still a relatively small event, but increasing. There are two events, one in Stockholm and one in Gothenborg, where preterm birth is discussed in a great context: what can we achieve, what resources are needed for care, and for children's special needs later in life, parental involvement, NICU design etc-etc. So, having said that, it all depends on the audience. And if you plan an "in-hospital" event, with staff mainly, I think your themes are great! Maybe you can find some good material on the web sites like the WHO and March of Dimes.
