Neonatal follow-up plays a critical role in Ontario’s healthcare system, monitoring and offering early intervention for high-risk infants with varying diagnoses. The Neonatal Follow-Up Program (NFUP) refers to neonatal follow-up clinics collectively that are part of a larger collaborative provincial system. PCMCH has developed NFUP resources with the aims of reducing variations in practice among clinics and aligning neonatal follow-up standards across the province.
The resources available for download below will support standardization and collaboration across clinics in Ontario. Resources have also been developed for parents and families to help them better understand their journey through the neonatal follow-up system.
