Family and Infant Neurodevelopmental Education: an innovative, educational pathway for neonatal healthcare professionals

Family and Infant Neurodevelopmental Education (FINE) is an innovative step-by-step pathway designed to enable neonatal professionals to put the theory and evidence behind infant and family-centred, developmentally supportive care into practice. It is an international, multi-disciplinary programme that makes quality controlled education and training widely accessible and adaptable to many settings. FINE is closely linked to the more advanced NIDCAP training model but aims to support all approaches to early developmental intervention in neonatal care. The basic principles, core themes and step-by-step agenda of FINE are outlined.
