Introduction of 24 h Resident Consultant Cover in a Tertiary Neonatal Unit-Impact on Mortality and Clinical Outcomes.

Background: We aimed to determine whether the introduction of 24 h cover by resident consultants in a tertiary neonatal unit affected mortality and other clinical outcomes.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study in a tertiary medical and surgical neonatal unit between 2010-2020 of all liveborn infants admitted to the neonatal unit. Out of hours cover was rearranged in 2014 to ensure 24 h presence of a senior trained neonatologist (resident consultant).
