Course overview
This micro-course provides clinicians with a concise yet comprehensive update on the 2025 American Heart Association and American Academy of Paediatrics Neonatal Resuscitation science. As the evidence base for newborn care continues to evolve, keeping pace with updated guidelines is essential for any practitioner involved in the delivery room or immediate newborn period. The course distils the major new recommendations, changes in emphasis, and the updated evidence underlying the newborn Chain of Care, offering a clear, structured understanding of what has changed, why it has changed, and how each update reflects the latest thinking in neonatal physiology, resuscitation technique, and patient safety. Rather than presenting guidelines in isolation, the course contextualises each change within the broader framework of newborn resuscitation, helping clinicians see not just the detail but the direction of travel in the science.
The course is designed with the practising clinician in mind — accessible, focused, and immediately applicable regardless of your specific role or clinical setting. No lengthy prerequisite reading is required; the content is structured to build logically from foundational concepts to the most clinically significant updates, ensuring that both experienced resuscitation providers and those newer to the field can engage meaningfully with the material. By the end of the course, participants will be able to articulate the key changes in the 2025 guidelines, understand the evidence that drove those changes, and integrate the updated recommendations into their clinical practice with confidence. In a field where the difference between good and great care can be measured in seconds, staying current is not simply a matter of professional development. It is a direct investment in the safety and outcomes of the most vulnerable patients in any healthcare system.

Why choose this course?
- Stay current with the latest resuscitation science: The 2025 AHA and AAP guidelines represent the most up-to-date evidence in neonatal resuscitation — knowing what has changed and why is a professional and clinical responsibility for anyone present at a birth.
- Understand not just what changed, but why: This course goes beyond a simple list of updates. It explains the evidence behind the new recommendations, giving clinicians the deeper understanding needed to apply guidelines confidently rather than mechanically.
- Directly applicable to clinical practice from day one: Every update covered is framed around real clinical scenarios, so the transition from learning to doing is immediate — whether you work in a tertiary NICU, a district hospital, or a community delivery suite.
- Designed for busy clinicians: As a micro-course, it respects the reality of clinical workloads. The content is concise, focused, and structured so you can complete it without sacrificing a full study day.
- Covers the full newborn Chain of Care: Rather than isolating individual skills, the course addresses the continuum of newborn resuscitation — giving practitioners a coherent picture of how each update fits into the broader clinical sequence.
- Relevant across a wide range of disciplines: Whether you are a midwife, neonatologist, paediatrician, emergency physician, or obstetric nurse, newborn resuscitation is a shared responsibility. This course speaks to all of them.
- Confidence in high-stakes moments: Neonatal resuscitation is time-critical and high-pressure. Clinicians who are current with the evidence are better prepared to act decisively, communicate clearly, and lead or support a resuscitation team when it matters most.

Full bio goes here: Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of
