Public benefits
Our primary beneficiaries are babies from all over Northern Ireland. These are often premature or very sick newborn babies. The intended benefits to these babies are improvements in their health and welfare, and better health outcomes including improved survival. By the very nature of intensive care babies are sometimes exposed to invasive
treatments and medications. However the benefits of these latter vastly outweigh the drawbacks. Benefits can be measured in a variety of ways including: feedback from parents and staff; annual unit statistics; local benchmarking within the NI neonatal network and national/international benchmarking within the Vermont-Oxford Network, and other national registers. There are incidental benefits to the babies' parents and families as a result of improved survival.There are incidental benefits to staff in the Regional Unit, including professional development and training that enables them to do their jobs better.
