Getting the word out about this wonderful new initiative
YOU'RE INVITED - local initiative supporting premmie babies healthcare
Many of you have connected with the amazing Franki, a NICU nurse and Hawthorne local who works with the tiniest and most precious patients every day.
Anyone who has spent time around a neonatal unit knows that NICU nurses are so special. They care for babies who weigh less than a bag of sugar, support families through some of the most frightening moments of their lives, and do it all with extraordinary skill and compassion.
Franki is one of those nurses but she didn’t stop at the bedside.
She looked at the challenges clinicians face in the NICU and asked a simple but powerful question: how could we do this better?
That question became NeoDuoFlow which an initiative born from frontline experience, designed to improve care for premature and critically ill newborns.
And that’s what I think is so powerful about this story. The best ideas in healthcare don’t always come from boardrooms or policy documents. Often they come from the people who are right there at the bedside, the ones who see the problems, day in and day out, and refuse to accept that things can’t be improved.
Franki saw an opportunity to make things better for babies, for families, and for the clinicians caring for them and she backed herself to make it happen.
Come along on Thursday 16 July from 9:30am at These Three Things Bulimba
