Collaborators needed to improve the health and developmental outcomes for infants born very preterm

The Centre of Research Excellence in Newborn Medicine is calling for collaborators to create a clinical practice guideline about health and developmental follow-up for infants born very preterm (<32 weeks’ gestation) in Australia.

This project will run through 2022 and bring together a diverse group of people from around Australia who have professional or lived experience caring for children born very preterm.

Members of the guideline working group will:
• Set the scope for the guideline
• Review the evidence regarding developmental outcomes and follow-up for infants and
children born very preterm
• Develop evidence-based recommendations for the developmental follow-up of these children
from 0-18 years
• Contribute to implementation planning for the guideline
• Attend online meetings and review materials between meetings
