Newborn babies are a very vulnerable group who need personalised care that is adapted to the needs of parents and the wider family, including communication and unit routines as well as up-to-date medicines and technology. Sadly, society has neglected the needs of newborn babies when medicines have been developed and my research aims to fill some of these gaps.
