It’s #InfantMentalHealthAwarenessWeek 💜 In neonatal units, the quietest person - the baby - still has a voice. 👶 When we slow down, tune in, and respond with empathy, we shift from doing to babies to being with them. Are we truly seeing, hearing, understanding them? 💞

Last week was #kangaroocareday2025 I think you'll agree that the staff across TV&W really got into the spirit of the celebration! Raising awareness of the benefits of skin-to-skin cuddles with the theme 'In My Arms, You Thrive' by dressing up, baking cakes and sharing information

A day packed with learning, reflection, and rich discussion on psychologically informed conversations. Great to see participants putting it all into practice with fantastic support from skilled actors. A powerful day of growth and connection!

We are celebrating World Down Syndrome Day today! For all the babies across our network and all the staff and families that are lucky enough to know and love them. #wouldntchangeathing #worlddownsyndromeday2025

[Carrie Davies Bateman @cdavies_bateman]

I was so pleased to be invited along and take part in this event. The Beach building is wonderful and the Neonatal Unit is going to be such a fantastic place to work for the staff.
I’ve no doubt that families will benefit hugely from such an amazing facility.

[Kerry Taylor @KerryTa24800219]

Today @UHD_NHS we hosted 15 steps with support from our wonderful MNVP. Everyone enjoyed the tour of the BEACH building and the feedback was so positive. It was great to be able to show our guests that we listen and value their opinions - we have introduced quiet closing bins!

NEWS: The Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Act will officially take effect on April 6! 🎉 Thanks to the tireless efforts of our team here at Bliss, parents with babies born sick or premature will now have the right to take up to 12 weeks leave while their little ones receive hospital care. This vital new legislation ensures that families can focus on what matters most without the stress of returning to work too soon.
