Wonderful news from Norway 🇳🇴

This month, the team at Akershus universitetssykehus HF completed the implementation of the Concord Birth Flow, becoming the first Concord Community member in Norway.

Their commitment to giving babies a gentle and connected start in life is inspiring. As Hanne Nordli Holtmoen expresses so beautifully:
“We can now provide life-saving treatment to premature and sick newborns, while keeping them close to their parents, strengthening that essential early bond.”

We look forward to growing the Concord Community across Scandinavia together.

Ahus er det første sykehuset i Norge som tar i bruk Concord Birth Trolley – et mottaksbord som gjør det mulig å gi fysiologisk avnavling også til premature og syke nyfødte. Målet er å gi barnet en tryggere og mer stabil start på livet.

Ein großer Schritt für Hamburgs Kleinste!

Am Altonaer Kinderkrankenhaus wurde mit Unterstützung der Stiftung Hamburg macht Kinder gesund e.V. unser Concord Birth Flow eingeführt. 💛

Die Worte von Mutter Ramona mit ihrem Baby Liam haben uns besonders bewegt:
"Als mir erklärt wurde, dass man wirklich die ganze Untersuchung direkt bei mir am Bett machen kann, war ich total gespannt. Jetzt im Nachgang bin ich unendlich dankbar, dass es die Möglichkeit gab.“

Diese Geschichte erinnert uns daran, was wirklich zählt: in den ersten, entscheidenden Minuten verbunden zu bleiben. Die Bindung zwischen Baby und Mutter ist von großer Bedeutung, und steht im Zentrum dessen, wofür Concord Neonatal existiert.

Danke an Hamburg macht Kinder gesund e. V. für euer Vertrauen in innovative Neugeborenenversorgung.
Willkommen im , liebes Team des AKK Altonaer Kinderkrankenhaus.

With the implementation of the Concord Birth Flow and Trolley, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust is now offering newborns and parents the invaluable opportunity to stay connected after birth, a significant step toward better outcomes for many babies and their families.
It’s truly inspiring to see their dedication to giving newborns the best start in life.
Congratulations and welcome to our growing .

This amazing piece of equipment is our new Concord Neonatal Birth Trolley, which is being funded by our Newborns in Need Appeal. Amazingly, it lets mum and baby stay connected at birth, allowing for delayed cord clamping - which gives babies a huge head start in life. Delayed cord clamping, using this technology, can reduce the death rate of babies born under 28 weeks by a third!

Neonatal Consultant at Heartlands Hospital, Pinki Surana, said, “Concord Birth Trolley will allow us to aid the breathing of our preterm babies whilst they are still attached to the cord, which is so important to improve their survival and long-term developmental prospects. It also allows for mum to be with her baby in those very first moments rather than being whisked away for various procedures; this is so crucial for their bonding, promotion of breast-feeding and developmental care. We can’t thank Heartlands Hospital Charity enough for raising funds for such a vital, life-saving piece of equipment.”

A Spokesperson from Concord Neonatal, said: “Ten years from now, it will be hard to believe that parents and newborns were ever separated right after birth. With the implementation of the Concord Birth Flow and Trolley, Birmingham Heartlands Hospital is now offering newborns and parents the invaluable opportunity to stay connected after birth, a significant step toward better outcomes for many babies and their families. It’s truly inspiring to see their dedication to giving newborns the best start in life. Congratulations and welcome to our growing .”

Trots en blij dat we nog een Nederlands ziekenhuis mogen we verwelkomen in onze Concord Community!

Medisch Centrum Leeuwarden gefeliciteerd en welkom!

kinderarts-neonatoloog Machteld van Scherpenzeel zegt:
Wetenschappelijke studies tonen aan dat het langer verbonden blijven met de navelstreng veel voordelen biedt voor de gezondheid van de baby. Daarnaast creëert het een rustiger en intiemer moment voor de ouders, die hun kindje direct kunnen zien en aanraken.

Betere start voor pasgeboren baby’s 👶❤️

Krijg je binnenkort misschien een keizersnede? Dankzij onze nieuwe opvangtafel blijft je baby na de geboorte boven je buik en dichtbij jou. Dat is fijn, want:

• Je kunt je kindje direct zien en aanraken.
• Je baby blijft langer verbonden met de navelstreng.
• Je baby krijgt extra zuurstof en stamcellen uit de placenta.
• Je baby wordt niet direct weggehaald, maar blijft bij jou.

Zo zorgen we samen voor een rustig en intiem moment. Vanaf 4 november gaan we de tafel gebruiken bij alle keizersnedes. Meer weten? Klik op de link: www.mcl.nl/nieuws/mcl-verbetert-start-voor-pasgeboren-babys-met-nieuwe-opvangtafel

Last Friday, Nerea and Marleen visited The GIP study day (Journée d'étude du GIP) in Brussels, about the inevitable transition in obstetric and paediatric practices. It was great to speak with so many professionals, including a lot of midwives, and learn more about their experiences with physiological-based cord clamping.
