✅ Bedside Skills
📋 Case-Based Learning
NICU infection prevention protects some of the most vulnerable patients in the entire hospital, where immature immune systems combine with intensive, hands-on care to create sustained infection risk.
Day-to-day NICU infection prevention rests on three practical pillars — consistent hand hygiene at every contact, careful device care for the lines and tubes many NICU infants depend on, and safe handling of expressed breast milk from collection through to feeding.
TerraLeap’s NICU Infection Prevention programme is designed for NICU nurses, neonatologists, and IPC teams, covering hand hygiene, device care, and milk handling as the foundation of daily NICU practice.
The programme covers hand hygiene technique and compliance in the NICU, safe device insertion and maintenance care, and safe milk handling from collection through storage to feeding.
Bedside skill, clinical confidence — built for real nursing practice.
