The EXPAND study is exploring how parents experience the first year at home after their baby is discharged from neonatal intensive care. We would like to know the potential impact on parental mental health & what support NICU families really need. 🫶🏼

If your baby has received care in a neonatal intensive care unit and they are due to be discharged home soon/ have been discharged home within the past 6-months we would love to hear from you!

Neonatal parents, if you wanted to take part in our research but weren’t able to because your baby has been home for more than 4 weeks, we have good news! We are now recruiting parents who have taken their baby home within the past 6 months. 🫶🏼

Can you help us improve the support that is available to NICU parents?

If your baby has spent time in neonatal intensive care & they will soon be discharged home/ have been discharged home in the past 6-months please consider taking part in our research.

Parents need to be cared for too…

We understand that care on the neonatal unit is focussed around the baby, but providing care for parents should be an essential part of that.

Providing compassionate care and offering parents psychological support throughout their neonatal journey will ensure that they themselves are able to provide their baby with the best care during this crucial time in their development.
