9th International Neonatal & Paediatric Multidisciplinary Neonatal Conference

The Master of Science in Neonatal Critical Care Nursing (MSNCCN) Year 1 and Year 2 students along with the speciality course faculty members attended a series of specialized neonatal workshops conducted on 24^th April 2026 at the Corniche Hospital Simulation Centre, Abu Dhabi, organized as part of the 9^th International Neonatal & Paediatric Multidisciplinary Neonatal.

The workshop featured multiple sessions delivered by experienced multidisciplinary healthcare professionals and covered key areas relevant to advanced neonatal practice. The sessions included:

1. Hemodynamic Workshop
2. Mechanical Ventilation Workshop
3. Neonatal Emergencies Workshop
4. Early Identification of Neonatal Developmental Delay and Cerebral Palsy Workshop
5. Delivery Room Management Workshop
6. Cardiac Module of Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) Workshop

The workshops provided participants with opportunities to strengthen their understanding of advanced neonatal assessment, emergency management, respiratory support, developmental screening, neonatal resuscitation, and evidence-based clinical interventions. The simulation-based and interactive learning approaches enhanced participants’ ability to apply theoretical concepts to real-life neonatal critical care scenarios.

The MSNCCN students actively engaged in discussions and practical learning activities, which contributed to improving their clinical reasoning, critical thinking, decision-making abilities, and specialized neonatal competencies. Faculty members also benefited from exposure to current practices and innovations in neonatal care, supporting continuous professional development and strengthening academic-clinical integration.

Overall, the workshop provided an enriching and engaging learning experience for both MSNCCN students and faculty members, offering valuable exposure to current advancements and best practices in neonatal critical care. Through expert-led sessions and simulation-based activities, participants enhanced their knowledge, clinical skills, and professional competencies in specialized neonatal care. Such professional development opportunities play a significant role in strengthening academic learning, fostering clinical excellence, and preparing future neonatal nursing leaders to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care.
