Neonatal care is a neurological environment. Every parent at the cot side, and every member of staff holding them, is running on a nervous system under pressure. When we understand what that pressure does, we can change how families are cared for, and we can protect the people who care for them.

That is what NICU Neuroscience teaches.

We are the training arm of Leo's Neonatal, a UK charity that has spent nine years delivering mental health support to neonatal families, with more than £1m of measurable services behind us. Our courses bring that frontline experience together with the neuroscience of stress, trauma, grief and regulation, taught in plain language a tired night shift can actually use.

Founded by Lottie King, an expert by experience who has stood at both sides of the cot, our training is built alongside a faculty of leading voices: Dr Greer Kirshenbaum, neuroscientist and founder of Nurture Neuroscience; Jessica Maguire, founder of the Nervous System School; and Dr Frankie Harrison, clinical psychologist and trauma specialist.

Our first course, Wired for the Ward, brings the autonomic nervous system to the cot side in four self paced lessons. The full NICU Neuroscience programme is in development, mapped to WHO, NICE, BAPM, GFCNI, RCPCH, RCN and RCM guidance, with formal CPD accreditation in progress.

And here is the part we are proudest of: every penny from our courses funds frontline mental health services for neonatal families through Leo's Neonatal, registered charity 1179901. When you train with us, you fund the work.
