Why choose this course?

The theoretical element of the course is structured across four online teaching days. This is followed by a face-to-face clinical skills study day which is delivered at Walsall Campus. From the start of the programme, applicants will be supported in clinical practice to develop their skills. Progress will be monitored using an electronic clinical document to record the completed examinations and proficiency.

What happens on the course?

This course will prepare applicants to undertake a systematic newborn infant physical examination in line with national guidance. Particular attention will be paid to the four key screening areas which include the eyes, heart, hips and testes (if applicable). Applicants will be supported to develop their knowledge and skills in relation to:

• The underpinning anatomy and physiology of each key area, to include embryological development
• The importance of thorough history taking to identify key risk factors
• The components of assessment for each key area
• National referral pathways

In addition to the four key screening areas, applicants will be encouraged to recognise the importance of a systematic and holistic approach to the examination. Consequently, other theory elements include the neurological, integumentary, genitourinary, gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal systems of the newborn. The course also requires applicants to demonstrate proficiency in professional communication, particularly when sharing concerns and discussing management plans with parents. Applicants will have the opportunity to practice their skills using simulation equipment at the Walsall campus. The theoretical component of the course will be assessed via a twenty-minute viva voce examination.

For the clinical component, applicants will be assessed via the completion of an online portfolio. Applicants will need to have regular clinical exposure which allows them the opportunity to undertake regular newborn and/or infant physical examinations.

Course Modules

Year 1

• Neonatal and Infant Physical Examination
  • Module: 7MI002
  • Credits: 20
  • Period: 1
  • Type: Core

The Examination of the Newborn course offers midwives, neonatal nurses and health visitors a clinically relevant post registration qualification. Completion of the course enables qualified staff to screen the newborn baby in a timely manner that meets the requirements of the National Screening Committee Standards (2008) and NICE Guidelines (2006).

Additional Information

Everything you need to know about this course!

Why Wolverhampton?

The University of Wolverhampton has offered postgraduate education and training for NIPE for many years. Consequently, we offer a well-embedded, quality teaching and learning experience. The ability to study this programme online has been developed in response to postgraduate student feedback, recognising the flexibility required by clinicians looking to integrate work and study. Students can engage in the course from a place of their choosing to maximise their comfort and accessibility. Onsite attendance for the skills days is required.

The viva voce assessment is conducted face-to-face, and students are required to submit an electronic portfolio of their clinical assessments and experiences undertaken under the supervision of an experienced NIPE practitioner.

What skills will you gain?

Every baby born within the UK should be offered a NIPE before they are 72hrs old. Following the successful completion of the course, applicants will be able to competently undertake the NIPE within their sphere of practice.

Midwives who did not have the opportunity to study NIPE at an undergraduate level, will now be able to meet the required midwifery standards of proficiency (NMC, 2019).

Nurses and Health visitors who complete this course will be able to add this valuable skill to their portfolio and enhance their employability.
