Creating a nurturing environment at Aberdeen: sharing ideas ‘across the pond’

A twinning between the Aberdeen Maternity Hospital neonatal unit and the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock (CHaD), New Hampshire, USA, has existed for two years. In February 2018, Nicole Bauwens spent one week in Clearwater, Florida, at the Gravens conference and a second week at ChaD. This trip reinforced Nicole’s passion for networking and putting the baby at the centre of everything we do, the benefits from experiencing different cultures and new work systems are overwhelmingly positive.
