Live webinar: Prematurity – An introduction to premature birth


Premature birth can have profound and lasting effects on babies and their families. In this webinar, Dr Eleanor McCartney explores what prematurity really means.

In this webinar, Eleanor explained the neonatal unit experience, where specialised care begins. She discussed the short-term health challenges that premature infants often face and also examined the potential long-term health implications. Eleanor also addressed behavioural and developmental issues that may arise as these children grow.

This webinar is aimed at prospective adopters, adoptive parents, foster carers and anyone with an interest in the impact of prematurity.
