End of life and bereavement care on a tertiary neonatal unit: a parental survey
Abstract
This article reports on a small qualitative review of the impact on families when a baby dies on a neonatal unit. The study aim was to see how the service that is provided in a tertiary neonatal unit could be improved in order to help others in the same situation. This led to me carrying out a postal survey of parents who had had a baby die on the neonatal unit at the Liverpool Women’s Hospital in order to gain insight into the care they received and focus on continuing the good aspects of care while improving the areas that needed some work. To maintain high standards of care reviews of practice must happen to encourage a culture of learning and feedback.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
