The new year has begun. For some families, it started beside an incubator or during a neonatal transfer.

At STORKS, our focus remains on neonatal education, transfer and research.

To every family and professional who began this year in a neonatal unit, we see you.

🚀 Our very first STAN (Stabilisation & Transfer of the Acutely unwell Neonate) course took flight at the end of April under the STORKS banner—immersive simulations, frontline tech and one shared goal: safer journeys for our tiniest patients.

Endless thanks to the champions who powered it: SkyCare ✈️, BM Ambulance 🚑, @PenlonGlobal 🩺, @AHTLtd 🔧, @Europlaz ⚙️, @LondonNTS 👶 and @LBH_Airport 🛫. Your support turned vision into reality!
