About NICUlearn

NICUlearn is a free, independent place to learn neonatal care, for doctors, nurses, ANNPs, allied health professionals and trainees, at any stage and in any country.

Why it exists

Good neonatal teaching is scattered across society webinars, conference recordings, guidelines and local study days. People starting on a neonatal unit, and people keeping up, spend a long time finding it. NICUlearn brings it together, checks it, and organises it so you can learn at your own pace.

What's inside

Library: teaching videos and slides by system, topic and discipline, including nursing, ANNP and allied health teaching.
Courses: structured courses with modules, quizzes and certificates, starting with a beginner course for people new to neonatal care.
Guidelines and research: official guidance with its year and version, the evidence behind it, and new neonatal research each week.
Calculators: core bedside calculations, each with its formula and source, checked before it goes live. No drug doses.
Neeky: a learning assistant that answers questions from NICUlearn's own checked sources, with citations.
Events: neonatal conferences, courses and study days, with links to the organisers.
Spaces: private places where units, networks and training programmes store and share their teaching.

How content is chosen

NICUlearn follows trusted neonatal teaching sources, guideline bodies and research databases every week. AI (Anthropic's Claude) helps sort what it finds: it suggests tags, writes short summaries and estimates how relevant each item is to neonatal care. People make the decisions: new material is approved by a NICUlearn admin or moderator before members see it, except for items from a small number of trusted sources that pass strict checks, which can be withdrawn at any time.

Videos from YouTube and Vimeo are embedded, never copied. Guideline full text is only stored where its licence allows; otherwise NICUlearn shows a summary and links to the original.

Independent and free

NICUlearn is free to use, carries no advertising and has no sponsors. It is not part of the NHS or any professional body. It was started by a paediatrician in the UK, which is why UK guidance is shown first where a reference point is needed, alongside the main international equivalents.

NICUlearn is run by Lifetree Digital Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (no. 16508268). The full details are in the terms of use and the privacy policy.

For education

NICUlearn supports learning. It does not replace your unit's guidelines, clinical supervision or clinical judgement. Read educational use before relying on anything here.
