Key points
- Parents-to-be of babies with anticipated surgical conditions may have a lack of knowledge about their baby’s condition and worry about what will happen after its delivery.
- A family-orientated, multidisciplinary clinic improves parental confidence, helping to build rapport with the teams that will look after their baby.
- Neonatal trainees benefit from participating in these clinics and can contribute as part of the MDT.
