✅ Bedside Skills
📋 Case-Based Learning
Neonatal sepsis remains a leading cause of illness and death in newborns, and prevention depends heavily on consistent, disciplined infection prevention practice from the moment of admission to the NICU.
Early risk assessment, meticulous hand hygiene, and careful device care together form the core defence against the pathogens most likely to cause neonatal sepsis.
TerraLeap’s Neonatal Sepsis Prevention programme is designed for NICU nurses, neonatologists, and paediatricians, covering risk assessment, hand hygiene, and device care.
The programme covers structured neonatal sepsis risk assessment, hand hygiene practice specific to the NICU environment, and safe device care to reduce central-line and other device-related infection.
Bedside skill, clinical confidence — built for real nursing practice.
