A specialist team who look after some of Scotland’s tiniest babies has received a national award for the quality of its care.
The multi-disciplinary team at Glasgow’s Princess Royal Maternity has been praised for its work in improving the outcomes of preterm babies with some born as young as 23 weeks.
The team were awarded “Excellence in Using Quality Improvement in Maternity, Neonatal and Paediatric Services” at the Scottish Government Quality Improvement Awards for developing a ‘Preterm bundle’, which includes a package of seven steps that improve the chances of a baby’s survival by up to a third.
