This Avoiding term admissions into neonatal units (ATAIN) course together with other courses form a high-quality e-learning for midwives. These modules and programmes have been developed by the UK’s medical royal colleges, Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare, and other professional bodies.



This e-learning programme is designed to help midwives and other professionals improve outcomes for babies, mothers and families through safer deliveries. Specifically, it explores how to reduce avoidable issues that can lead to infants born at term being admitted to neonatal units.



The programme focuses on four key clinical areas:

• respiratory conditions


• hypoglycaemia


• jaundice


• asphyxia (perinatal hypoxia–ischaemia)
