Our vision:

A standardised, all Wales training programme for neonatal services, aiming to enhance teamworking across the perinatal sector and improve outcomes for babies and families

MoNET Wales has been designed to standardise training in neonatal services in Wales following the publication of the Maternity and Neonatal Safety Support Programme Discovery Report. To address the findings from the ‘Improving Together for Wales’ report, perinatal teamworking, and the impact of human factors is threaded throughout the teaching. Based on the principle that ‘teams that work together, should train together,’ the programme is designed to be delivered and attended by the multi-professional team. The teaching strategy includes interactive presentations and scenario-based learning. Themes from the presentations are incorporated into the scenarios in the clinical environment, enabling the testing of systems and processes in local units. MoNET Wales promotes an inclusive approach, involving all members of the neonatal team.

MoNET Wales is designed as a full day programme delivered face-to-face by a team of local facilitators who have attended a MoNET Wales Faculty Development event.

Key principles for MoNET Wales are:

  • The programme is implemented by local accredited faculty who understand their local systems and know their teams
  • Training is in-situ to promote the testing of systems
  • MoNET Wales promotes multi-professional training to enhance teamworking and communication skills
  • The impact of human factors is threaded throughout the training
  • MoNET Wales promotes evidence-based practice and is utilised as a platform to implement national priorities and learning e.g. PERIPrem Cymru, NEWTT 2

Learning objectives for MoNET Wales are:

  • Participants will recognise the implications of standardised training and the importance of multiprofessional training.
  • Participants will be able to explain how human factors can impact on the outcome of a neonatal emergency.
  • Participants will be able to demonstrate effective teamworking and leadership, communication, situational awareness and escalation during a neonatal emergency.
  • Participants will be able identify key themes that can affect the management of an emergency and be able to provide simple steps and use tools to reduce error and improve safety.
  • Participants will be able to demonstrate the use of closed loop communication and SBAR handover.
  • Participants will be able to discuss the importance of civility and psychological safety within the clinical environment.
