Victorian Newborn Resuscitation Project web site:

NeoResus is now LIVE!

NeoResus is the official web site of the Victorian Newborn Resuscitation Project and the gateway to the online learning resources for the NeoResus training programs.

NeoResus is a specialized training program that has been designed to standardize the way in which newborn resuscitation is taught in Victoria.

The NeoResus program comprises two skills based, teamwork focused training programs: First Response and Advanced Resuscitation. These face-to-face, multidisciplinary training programs are supported by online, evidence-based learning modules, which are completed by all program participants.

This web site provides NeoResus program participants with access to the online learning material. There is also a resource section specifically for NeoResus program Facilitators, whom we will be actively recruiting and training in 2010.

Since May 2008, with funding from the Department of Health, members of the Victorian Newborn Resuscitation project team have been working in collaboration with Australia's leading neonatal resuscitation researchers and scientists to develop and implement the NeoResus program. We welcome your feedback on our site.

The NeoResus web site is at  http://www.neoresus.org.au
