Naujagimio priežiūra, orientuota į šeimos mokymą apie naujagimio raidą. FINE1

Lietuvos neonatologijos asociacija bendradarbiaudami su asociacija “Neišnešiotukas”, vykdė Aktyvių piliečių fondo (APF) finansuojamą projektą „Nuotolinės mokymų priemonės neišnešiotų naujagimių prevencijai sukūrimas“, apmokė sveikatos specialistus, kurie dirba su neišnešiotais naujagimiais ligoninėse: neonatologus, slaugytojus ir socialinius darbuotojus.

Pirmosios pakopos mokymai „Naujagimio priežiūra, orientuota į šeimos mokymą apie naujagimio raidą“ vyko pagal FINE1 (UK) (Family and Infant Neurodevelopment Education course) programą. FINE yra universali programa ir yra visų raidos priežiūros modelių pagrindas. FINE1 – pirmoji pakopa, siekiantiems susipažinti su raidos priežiūros ugdymo, dar vadinamo ,,Šeimos ir kūdikio nervų sistemos raidos edukacija”. 

Džiaugiamės, kad bendradarbiavimu su Dr. Inga Warren (UK), kuri yra šeimos ir kūdikių neurologinio ugdymo autorė ir viena iš direktorių, apdovanota CBE Karalienės apdovanojimu už išskirtinį indėlį į neišnešiotų kūdikių priežiūrą. Dr. I. Warren talkino nemažiau patyrę jos kolegės: Monique Oude Reimer, Beverley Hicks ir Trisha Bellingham. 

Mokymams buvo pasitelkti interaktyvūs užsiėmimai, o specialistai susiskirstyti į grupes, kad paskirtieji grupių vadovai savo patirtimi ir praktika galėtų dalintis tiesiogiai su kiekviena dalyve ir asmeniškai suteikti dėmesį grįstą darbo patirtimi, išgyvenimais, mintimis ir aptarimu.

Joint Declaration by European Societies and Associations on the protection of children, mothers, and pregnant women in Ukraine

To the President of the European Commission
To the EU Commissioner on Health and Food Safety
To the Prime Ministers/Presidents of all European Countries


04 March 2022


All Europe is watching the situation in Ukraine. We see hospitals trying to continue to provide care, and we see hundreds of thousands of refugees escaping from the conflict into other European countries. The Union of European Neonatal and Perinatal Societies (UENPS), the European Society of Paediatric Research (ESPR), the European Society for Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC), the European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants (EFCNI), the Global Alliance for Newborn Care (GLANCE) together with their Parent Advisory Boards, the European Association of Perinatal Medicine (EAPM) and the European Society for Paediatric Anaesthesiology (ESPA) are particularly concerned to 1) help the healthcare providers and facilities in Ukraine and to 2) protect the children, mothers and pregnant women among the refugees.


All European governments have ratified the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which recognizes the right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health. In particular, our countries have committed themselves to protect children from all forms of violence, and they are equally committed to taking appropriate measures to provide protection and humanitarian assistance to all refugee children.


We know that healthcare facilities in Ukraine desperately need medical supplies and are critically short of oxygen. We call all European countries to ensure that those facilities urgently receive the supplies they need. We also ask to protect healthcare workers caring for injured people, in particular women and children.


Children, mothers and pregnant women are the most vulnerable among the refugees arriving in our countries today. We call on all European governments to honour the commitment they signed up to in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and provide those refugees with the special care and protection they so clearly need.

Dear Prof. Moretti, dear Board members,

I am writing this letter on behalf of Lithuanian Neonatology Association to express our position on the membership of Russian Neonatal Society in UENPS.

Lithuanian Neonatology Association is a member of UENPS since 2007. We are proud of this membership and our participation in UENPS activities. We appreciate the values of the organization – the promoting of the knowledge of the perinatal indicators and developing any other tool to achieve the best healthcare for every newborn, the importance to develop recommendations, guidelines, training of the healthcare providers and any other tool to achieve surveillance of neonatal rights wherever they are born.

In these days, when Russia invaded Ukraine violating all principles of human rights, and innocent people are being killed, the newborns were born in bombshelters and our Ukrainian colleagues move their NICUs to the basements lacking vital medicines and supplies, we can not stay aside. We think that UENPS values are incompatible with the organization of the aggressor‘s country, i.e., Russian Neonatal Society

The Board of Lithuanian Neonatology Association had urgent meeting on Feb 27th, 2022 and decided to address the UENPS to suspend  Russian Neonatal Society membership in UENPS. We prompt to hold the UENPS Board meeting regarding this issue as soon as possible.

Respectfully,

On behalf of Lithuanian Neonatology Association

Prof. Rasa Tamelienė,

President of Lithuanian Neonatology Association

World Prematurity Day

World Prematurity Day

World Prematurity Day on 17 November is one of the most important days in the year to raise awareness of the challenges and burden of preterm birth globally. The day was initiated by EFCNI and partnering European parent organisations in 2008. The international co-founders LittleBigSouls (Africa), March of Dimes (USA) and National Premmie Foundation (Australia) joined the celebrations and made World Prematurity Day an intercontinental movement. Meanwhile, countless individuals and organisations from more than 100 countries join forces with activities, special events and commit to action to help address preterm birth and improve the situation of preterm babies and their families.

Everyone is warmly invited to join this day with activities or events: parent organisations, hospitals, non-profit organisations, healthcare professionals, societies, companies, politicians, media, and individuals. No matter how much time, money or manpower you are able to spare – even with simple things you can make a difference!

Besides the colour purple which stands for sensitivity and exceptionality, the socksline has become a symbol for World Prematurity Day. The small pair of purple socks – framed by nine full-size baby socks – symbolises: 1 in 10 babies is born preterm. Worldwide.

2018 – the ten year anniversary of World Prematurity Day 

2018 was a special year as we were celebrating the 10th anniversary since the foundation of World Prematurity Day in 2008. Under the slogan ‘Working together: Partnering with families in the care of small and sick newborns’, people joined the worldwide WPD celebrations. In our resources section, we provided special graphics for the 10th anniversary.  As EFCNI is based in Munich, Germany, it was, of course, a special highlight for us that one of the literally outstanding landmarks of Munich, the Olympic tower, was illuminated in purple, shining a light for preterm babies and their families.

The global theme for World Prematurity Day 2020 is:

World Prematurity Day 2020
Together for babies born too soon – Caring for the future

We are happy to provide you with campaigning material in more than 20 languages.

You find further material like logo badges, social media graphics and banners – also available in several languages – and a social media toolkit for your World Prematurity Day campaign in our Resources tool box below.

Join our World Prematurity Day Photo Challenge on 17 November!

To send out a message of gratitude to the global network of parent organisations and to support especially new/young parents and mothers of preterm born babies, we will initiate a photo challenge on World Prematurity Day to give parents hope and to celebrate the progress our children have made. Also, the challenge is designed to draw attention to the impressive work of parent- and patient organisations and can hopefully connect people affected by preterm birth.

Joining is easy:
Inspired by the How it started – How it’s going social media trend we invite you to 

  • Choose two images of your child, one shows them when they were born/younger while you were kangarooing for instance,  and the other one is a  more recent image – please respect your child’s personal image rights and ask for their consent, or, if they are too young, be considerate when choosing a picture. You should both feel comfortable with the chosen image.
  • Adults born preterm are also invited to join the challenge! 
  • Upload both images to your Facebook and/or Instagram account, either separately or montaged to one image 
    Then simply write in the caption „How it started“ and „How it’s going“ or if you made a collage write „How it started“ and „How it’s going“ directly on the picture. If you wish, you may also share your personal story in the caption.
  • Be sure to use #WPDChallenge#WorldPrematurityDay2020 and #LittleHeroes
  • Also, tag three account names of your friends or acquaintances who can join this activity, to your post.
  • We invite you to upload your image(s) to your Instagram Story too – Be sure to use #WPDChallenge#WorldPrematurityDay2020, tag @efcni and three other accounts to join the challenge.
