A multimodal quality improvement approach to promote normothermia in very preterm infants.

Aim: To achieve the National Neonatal Audit Programme (NNAP) standard of 90% normothermia among preterm infants born under 30 weeks of gestation.

Methods: Project SHIP (Stopping Hypothermia In Premmies) was a quality improvement programme to improve admission normothermia. Phase 1 of the project implemented low-fidelity simulations during 2011-2016.
