A big thank you to Amanda Lawes, OT & Ei SMART volunteer, for sharing how Ei SMART brings OT, physio & SLT together to support babies born prematurely. She also highlights the importance of our leaflets; clear, practical resources parents can revisit in their own time. 💛

“What a wonderful training the Ei SMART Implementation in the Neonatal Unit is! It should become mandatory for all staff before they start working in the unit or in early intervention!” Incredible feedback from our recent Ei SMART Study Day #EiSMART #ProfessionalDevelopment

So excited to be supporting Bea and Will to deliver the keynote speech at Weave Arts and Mental Health Conference tomorrow #parentsexperienceofnicu #musicsupportingselfregulation

Grace’s mother shares how early sensory care and skin-to-skin contact transformed her confidence as a new parent in the NICU. With support from Neonatal OT at Singleton Hospital, she was introduced to the Ei SMART approach and later attended our baby course. #SkinToSkin #NICU

Parent power + the just right challenge = Ei SMART in action! In our recent baby course, a mum guided by our therapist helped her little one sit & reach with her less-used hand. A beautiful moment of strength, confidence & connection. #EiSMART #BuildingBabyBrains

Thank you to the amazing staff at Swn Y Mor care home and Morriston & NPT hospitals. Your kindness made all the difference. That beautiful portrait is by Roo Lewis. He loved it and so do we. X

On behalf of my family it is with heartbreaking sadness that I mark the passing of my beautiful father Meyrick Sheen today. We were with him throughout. There will never be anyone like him. RIP Meyrick Sheen (1940 - 2025)❤️

@MandaLawes @Blisscharity Yes, we're both in the northern neonatal network. 😊

Heading back up #north, reflecting on all the stories and #motivational words that were shared at yesterday's @Blisscharity event. It's such a team effort and I feel so lucky to work with so many different #charities, #AHPs, #families & #nurses. #FICare happens from #partnership!
