We are pleased to announce a new agreement between UENPS and the European Project NeoIPC! Together, we are organizing an important survey on Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) practices in the NICU.

This survey is supported by the Italian Society of Neonatology, which has helped to refine the questionnaire. The focus of the survey will be on Kangaroo Care and other NICU-specific IPC practices across Europe and beyond.

The NeoIPC project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, aims to improve IPC practices in neonatal care units.

By participating in this survey, you will gain valuable insights into the practices currently in use in your unit. Once the results are published, you’ll be able to compare your data with those from other countries, helping to identify best practices that should be implemented.

To participate in the survey, take a moment to fill out our form!
