OUTREACH
Expanding Access to Simulation-Based Neonatal Education
NEST brings hands-on neonatal resuscitation training directly to community and rural hospitals across New Brunswick.
Our outreach program ensures that every newborn receives the best possible care — no matter where they are born.
ADRESSING SYSTEM GAPS
NRP certification is just the initial step — it does not guarantee competence or clinical readiness.
Research shows that neonatal resuscitation skills begin to decline within months of training, especially without exposure or practice.
Outreach simulation helps bridge these gaps. It supports:
- Realism and relevance by combining NEST's high-fidelity simulation equipment with each center’s own resources — ensuring sessions reflect local practice
- Skill retention through hands-on practice and scenario-based learning
- Teamwork and communication by practicing with colleagues in the actual work environment
- Enhanced familiarity NRP algorithm and available equipment
- Targeted feedback from NEST instructors
- Collaborative problem-solving, allowing teams to explore challenges, identify safety or system gaps, and co-develop practical, site-specific solutions
