Decolonising the ‘red’ reflex test: transitioning from terminology based on colour to anatomy - Eye Eye - Decolonising the ‘red’ reflex test: transitioning from terminology based on colour to anatomy

Mr M Ashwin Reddy is presenting on "Advances in the detection and management of neonatal eye conditions" at #NeonatalUpdate. Highlighting really important points on the 'red reflex' that forms part of the full newborn assessment, recommend reading www.nature.com/articles/s41... #NeonatalUpdate

Very relevant presentation for midwives on "Lessons learnt from the national childhood mortality database for the UK and beyond" from Professor Karen Luyt at @ncmd.bsky.social #NeonatalUpdate

Dr Kera McNelis (Young Investigator Awardee) presenting on "Infancy - A critical window for growth"

"Insights from the DIAMOND trial" presented by Dr Tanith Alexander (one of the Young Investigator Awardees) #NeonatalUpdate

Professor Serena Counsell presented on "Altered brain development in congenital heart disease – insights from early neuroimaging" #NeonatalUpdate

Professor Deena Gibbons "Development of the neonatal immune system and its implications for later life" #NeonatalUpdate

Dr John Lantos provided the keynote address "Neonatal bioethics in a world of big data, AI and genomics" #NeonatalUpdate
Remember:
- Different views on disability;
- Implicit biases;
- Clinicians focus on impairments (not abilities or positive family impact).

Dr Jane Cleal presented on "Placental adaptations to maternal nutrition and the impact on lifelong health" #NeonatalUpdate

Data on care & outcomes of neonates born at 22-23 weeks’ gestation (Iowa & Japan) #NeonatalUpdate
- Gestational age is not the same as maturity
- Different rates of LtFU across countries looking at neurodevelopment
- Different management, same outcome.

My key take away points from Professor Karel Allegaert's presentation on "Advocating for drug development in newborn infants" #NeonatalUpdate

Professor Nigel Hall presenting on "Research priorities in neonatal surgery" #NeonatalUpdate
- We need better and stronger collaboration (paediatric surgery and neonatologists share the same population)
- Variation in surgical practice exists between & within UK 26 surgical NICUs

Followed by "Pigmentary Birthmarks" #NeonatalUpdate

#Midwives Professor Veronica Kinsler gave a brilliant presentation on birthmarks that we need to know when doing a full newborn examination. This slide has the key points for "Vascular Birthmarks" #NeonatalUpdate

Two key takeaway points (for me, there were lots!) on fetal management of twin pregnancies at #NeonatalUpdate plus a slide on top ten research priorities. Great presentation by Professor Asma Khalil

Delighted to hear about the POOL Study at #NeonatalUpdates (midwives & neonatologists working together) on the use of water in labour and birth

Key take away points (for me) from Prof Lakshminrusimha #NeonatalUpdate presentation for me on "Oxygen targets in neonatal pulmonary hypertension"

Incredible presentation by @neosatyan.bsky.social & reinforces how much we (midwives & neonatologists) can learn from each other. #NeonatalUpdate

Unfortunately, @bsky.app isn't allowing me to post pictures 🙁

Delighted to be attending #NeonatalUpdate this week (& I know it's early) and enjoying the Christmas decorations in BMA House

Good to see there's an active #earlymodern community on here, so you may be interested in our digitised collections of 16th-18th century manuscripts #histmed #medhums #skystorians archiveandlibrary.rcsed.ac.uk/special-coll...?

We want to connect with as many public health and inequalities people and organisations as possible.

Like and repost if that is you, and we will follow back! #PublicHealth #Scotland #Inequalities

Hi, I am Hazel (clinical background midwifery & PhD in paediatrics). My key interest is forward planning. With all the advances we achieve in clinical research we need to consider the longer term impacts. Particular interested in exploring the long term needs and outcomes of today's neonates.
