This brochure has been developed as part of the PEGS project - Getting Evidence into Practice Using Networks - Newborn Pain. We welcome you to download and copy the brochure which provides information for families who have a baby in hospital, either the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Special care Nursery or in the Postnatal Wards where painful medical procedures are sometimes required.
These guidelines have been developed as part of the PEGS project - Getting Evidence into Practice Using Networks - Newborn Pain. They are based on the best current evidence and are available for use in all contexts where newborn infants maybe subjected to painful medical procedures. The guidelines maybe used in full or components used for specific contexts.
