NurtureProgram Support Workers work closely with the Social Work and Nursing Departments within the hospital, and are available for one-on-one or group support on-site in the NICU, Special Care Nursery, Antenatal and Maternity wards. Part of a Miracle Babies team member's role at NurtureTime is to encourage the family to ask questions and be involved in baby’s care whilst in the NICU/ SCN. Tips and suggestions may be discussed in regards to coping with the experience and accepting all help and support the hospital can offer, including Social Work, Lactation Consultants, Nurses and Allied Health.
