The neonatal outreach nurses are based on NICU and will be involved in discharge planning to ensure your baby is able to go home as soon as possible.
They offer support at home to a range of premature and new born infants, up to 4 weeks post term gestation who have been discharged from NICU and transitional care. For longer term support your baby's’ care may be transferred to the children’s community nursing team.
The neonatal outreach team cover a large area, so families are asked to be understanding about punctuality for home visits as journey times and length of visits cannot always be expected. In Cambridge the outreach team works 7 days a week and work between 8am to 4pm. However the community team for this area may run slightly different than the community team that covers your area. Please speak with the nursing staff regarding your local community team and their service hours.
Please remember to register your baby with your GP before going home.
