Well done Dr Nashwa Matta
A Glasgow doctor whose work involves spotting signs of stress in babies being treated in intensive care has been honoured with a special award. Dr Nashwa Matta is one of just three medical professionals in the UK to receive a new Members' Award from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health for her work.
It helps them spot signs of stress in babies in neonatal units, allowing them to calm and reassure the infants. She has adapted the programme over a 15-year period, with the initiative also being expanded beyond the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow to community health teams.The Child in Mind programme is taught to trainee neonatal nurses at the University of the West of Scotland and has also been rolled out to those working in paediatric intensive care units.
"Before I discovered the Child in Mind programme, I perhaps used to be too focused on the infant's medical and physical needs, but the mental health of the babies is vital. I am so passionate about this work and teaching medical professionals and parents more about how to spot the signs of stress."
