Creating a home with a critically ill child: A qualitative study exploring the experiences of parents of children admitted to paediatric critical care following treatment in neonatal care

Survival of children with complex medical conditions has increased over time. Around 5% of children admitted to a neonatal unit (NNU) later have an admission to a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in early life. No work to date has explored the needs of parents who have a child admitted to both of these healthcare settings.
