📋 Case-Based Learning
Newborn haematology covers the distinct physiology of blood formation and function in the neonatal period, where reference ranges, common pathologies, and screening priorities differ markedly from older children and adults.
Conditions such as neonatal anaemia, polycythaemia, thrombocytopenia, and haemolytic disease of the newborn require prompt recognition, since the neonatal period carries a narrow margin for physiological compensation.
TerraLeap’s Newborn Haematology programme is built for neonatologists, paediatricians, and NICU nurses who need a solid grounding in neonatal blood physiology, common pathologies, and appropriate screening and management approaches.
The programme covers normal neonatal haematological physiology, common pathological conditions, relevant screening protocols, and management principles specific to the neonatal population.
Bedside skill, clinical confidence — built for real nursing practice.
Programme Scope
What this programme covers

Learning Objectives
What you will achieve
After completing this programme, learners will be able to recognise and manage the common haematological conditions encountered in the neonatal period.
Each objective addresses a distinct aspect of neonatal haematological care.

Apply appropriate screening and management for haemolytic disease of the newborn
05
Interpret neonatal haematological screening results within the appropriate clinical context
06
Apply management principles specific to the NICU setting
07
Recognise when specialist haematology input is needed for complex neonatal cases
