»Ê¼Ò»ªÈË NNAP
The National Neonatal Audit Programme (NNAP) assesses whether babies admitted to neonatal units receive consistently high-quality care in relation to the NNAP audit measures that are aligned to a set of professionally agreed guidelines and standards.
The NNAP also identifies variation in the provision of neonatal care at local unit, regional network and national levels and supports stakeholders to use audit data to stimulate improvement in care delivery and outcomes.
We report key outcomes of neonatal care, measures of optimal perinatal care, maternal breastmilk feeding, parental partnership, neonatal nurse staffing levels and other important care processes.

For parents and families
Your baby's care is the parent and carer guide to the annual report, and has been updated to cover 2023 data. The guide covers the NNAP measures most relevant to parents and carers, as chosen by parents and carers of preterm babies, supported by neonatologists. It includes images and quotes from parents and carers of preterm babies who received neonatal care. We encourage neonatologists and paediatricians to share it with parents.
You can find out more about how we use information about babies experiencing neonatal care and their mothers on our Your baby's information page.
