Sarah Edwards
What do you do?
I co-lead on the Neonatal Critical Care Review Transformation Plan to enhance the parents’ journey through neonatal care. Together with Lisa Leppard, we lead a team of 3 Local Care Coordinators to work with local neonatal units to build on their philosophy of family integrated care. Our aim is to ensure that staff and parents work in partnership in the care of their baby, keeping the family at the centre of all care and decision making, during their neonatal journey. I am leading on our transitional care project, to ensure that there is equitable access to safe and appropriate transitional care for all babies within the region.
I work with the neonatal units at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, Milton Keynes Hospital, Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury and Wexham Park Hospital in Slough.
What would you like to achieve?
I am passionate about making sure parents and families have a consistent experience, and that they are supported to care for their babies whilst on our neonatal units. Hearing parents’ voices and truly listening can shape the way services are delivered and improve the journey for our neonatal families.
