Sarah is happy to be back from maternity leave and resuming her role alongside Jen as Joint Neonatal OT Lead for the London Network.

Over 2025/6 the Neonatal OT leads completed an audit with Neonatal Units who do not have any OT provision. See poster for key findings and recommendations.

Following the audit we are looking forward to connecting with the senior neonatal nurses and practice educators to explore learning opportunities for nurses in October.

Call to action: We are also looking for proactive London neonatal OTs or other supportive MDT colleagues who are passionate about improving experiences for babies and families transferring to units with no OT. We are initiating a task and finish group to improve pathways and develop resources for this population. If you are interested please contact: Sarah.neilson@nhs.net or Jennifer.dean24@nhs.net
