KSS Neonatal ODN Practice Educators Group
From September 2020, the education leads from each of the neonatal units within the KSS region have established a group to meet regularly, in order to share education plans, events, resources and ideas. The first action has been to scope the current education provision of all the units, via an education audit. This will establish the priorities of the group moving forward. This will be reflected within the network education strategy, which is currently in development.

South East Neonatal Simulation Education Group
The SENSE group was established in 2020, with the first meeting held in December. The special interest group brings together various professionals from all the neonatal units of both the Thames Valley and Wessex ODN and Kent, Surrey and Sussex ODN, with expertise and interest in neonatal simulation. The aim is to share best practice and resources, and develop simulation education within the region.

KSS Nurse Education
Neonatal Foundation Programme
The KSS Neonatal Foundation programme will commence for the first time in September 2021.
It is a 6 month programme, aimed at newly qualified practitioners and staff that are new to
speciality; including nurses, allied health professionals, junior doctors and non-registered staff.
The programme will consist of 3 parts:
1. Preceptorship for newly qualified staff, providing peer support and personal development
through this transition period.
2. Foundation learning, covering the fundamentals of neonatal care. This will be via e-learning
and online tutorials.
3. Interprofessional face to face study days, centred around clinical simulation and human
factors training.
