Two factors have led to the increase in the number and rate of hospital episodes for neonates. Firstly an increase in the numbers of extremely preterm children admitted and surviving over the last 16 years, a trend that continues.<\/p>
<\/p>
Secondly, there has been an increase in admission of babies born at full term. This is a factor that has been recognised and that we are tackling through the Addressing Term Admissions In Neonatal Units (ATAIN) programme. The ATAIN programme will support healthcare professionals to improve outcomes for babies, mothers and families through the delivery of safer care with a focus on four clinical areas: respiratory conditions; hypoglycaemia; jaundice; and asphyxia (perinatal hypoxia-ischaemia). ATAIN aims to ensure that no baby is separated from their mother unnecessarily by admission to the neonatal intensive care unit.<\/p>
