Integrated family delivered care project: Parent education programme

Parent education is one of the main “pillars” of Family Integrated Care (FIC); therefore it was considered central point in our Integrated Family Delivered Care (IFDC) programme. If parents are to be enabled, empowered to be “experts” in their baby's care and participate in the care team as equal partners, they will need to receive consistent and high quality information as well as a supportive education programme that has been tailored to meet their needs under their special circumstances in the neonatal unit. As part of the IFDC project, a complex experience co-designed training material was created which consist of several different learning opportunities from chapters in the mobile app, to one-to-one training, competency assessments and small group teaching based on a rolling weekly programme.
