The early lives of premature babies are captured in poignant photography exhibition

An intimate photography exhibition showing the lives of premature babies and their parents on a neonatal unit was developed with help from staff at Kingston University and St George's, University of London.

The exhibition, held to commemorate World Prematurity Day, gave a window onto the world of parents and staff at the neonatal unit at St George's Hospital in Tooting and was put together in partnership with First Touch – the hospital's neonatal baby charity.

It showed images that captured very personal moments between parents and their newborns. The aim was to increase parental involvement in discussions about family- centred care and highlight the challenging environment in which support is delivered.
