What will I learn on this module?
On this module, you will learn to be a Newborn and Infant Physical Examination (NIPE) practitioner. You will enhance your current understanding of newborn assessment. Newborn examination skills will be developed to incorporate competency in performing the 4 specific screening elements of the NHS Newborn and Infant and Physical Examination (NIPE) programme, these are the examination of the newborn heart, testes, eyes and the hips. You will learn about the NHS Newborn and Infant Physical Examination Screening Programme and the rationale for the newborn examination standards and implementation of the programme in the UK. You will evaluate how this understanding will direct your practice and understanding of referral and decision making. Guided online learning and student-led learning will enable you to review the evidence and increase your knowledge of newborn physiology, the normal parameters of health and potential deviations from normal as well as understanding the aetiology and recognition of congenital abnormalities. You will evaluate the implications of practitioner accountability and responsibility when assuming an extended and enhanced role, and be able to directly link this to the NMC code. This will include a review of the literature pertinent to this enhanced role, and a personal reflection on your own development.
The module will assist you to embrace specific aspects of newborn wellbeing. You will critically review the evidence base underpinning care for example neonatal jaundice. The newborn examination is an opportunity to have dialogue with parents and to reinforce health promotion messages, you will critically appraise the evidence base and communication approaches when addressing for example, safe sleeping, recognising the ill baby and responsive parenting
