This Framework intends to promote a shared understanding of the benefits of safe and effective repatriation following a period of neonatal specialist and/or intensive care. It aims to place infant and family at the centre of the process to enhance family centred/integrated care, thus ensuring better outcomes and experience for infants and their families.

Safe, high quality, family centred care at an appropriate location closer to home is a vital aspect of neonatal care.

This document intends to provide guidance to health care professionals pertinent to repatriation of infants to a neonatal unit closer to home for ongoing care. It does not cover escalation of care for clinical reasons.
