摘要
Key Points: 
  • A nurse has been convicted of murdering seven of her newborn patients and attempting to murder six others.
  • Although new parents are very unlikely to encounter someone who deliberately tries to harm their child, parents trusting their baby to the care of a neonatal unit must know what positive things they are entitled to expect.
  • When a child is born requiring specialist neonatal care, it’s always a frightening and vulnerable time for parents and families.
  • Amid this anguish, parents are entitled to be respected and supported and to be treated with care themselves.
