Neonatal Resuscitation

Course Overview

Neonatal Resuscitation

Every birth is a transition. Most newborns make that transition without difficulty, but some require immediate recognition, intervention, and expert resuscitation to survive and thrive.

This comprehensive online programme is based on the latest Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) 9th Edition guidance and has been adapted for clinicians working in real-world environments across South Africa and beyond.

Whether you work in the delivery room, emergency department, neonatal unit, ambulance service, retrieval team, or primary healthcare setting, this course will provide the knowledge and confidence needed to care for the critically ill newborn.

This course does not simply teach an algorithm. It focuses on understanding why newborns become unwell, how to recognise deterioration early, and what actions have the greatest impact on patient outcomes.

Using a combination of concise lessons, clinical examples, visual demonstrations, self-assessment activities, and scenario-based learning, you will build a structured approach to neonatal resuscitation that can be applied confidently in both hospital and prehospital environments.

By the end of this programme, you will be able to assess, stabilise, resuscitate, and support newborns using evidence-based practices while working effectively as part of a high-performing resuscitation team.

Because in neonatal resuscitation, preparation, teamwork, and the first few minutes of life can make all the difference.
