This assistant psychology post will directly contribute to the East Midlands meeting these aims, through the provision of a programme of training for psychological professionals and allied health professionals working in neonatal units.

As well as the categories of focus listed above, demographic information, levels of satisfaction and patient feedback will be key targets for data collection, in order to understand how the service is meeting the needs of the families, and providing opportunities for improvement via regular feedback from key stakeholders.


The post-holder will also work on developing resources, such as leaflets and brief videos, and there will be opportunities to deliver consultation and training to MDT colleagues.
