NIPE - textbook in a pocket™

General info and NIPE training resource on eye, heart, hip, testes and skin conditions in newborn infants. NIPE textbook in a pocket™ is a training tool for institutions and individuals who carry out the Newborn Infant Physical Examination (NIPE).

A NIPE practitioner needs to confidently distinguish between normal and abnormal to ensure that babies who need to be are referred appropriately and receive treatment promptly.

NIPE textbook in a pocket™ has been designed to help NIPE practitioners develop confidence and competency in screening for neonatal conditions. The detailed information for systemic physical examination is helpfully structured to address important learning areas for each of the screening elements.

Note that the NIPE standards and pathways on which this app is based are for UK only, users outside the UK should refer to their own national standards.

NIPE Textbook in a Pocket™ app is intended as a training tool for all practitioners performing the NIPE examination and for student midwives. It is for training purposes only to develop confidence and competency in screening for neonatal conditions. It is not diagnostic or intended to provide treatment guidance in live patient care. Much like a textbook while some images are real, they are not of current patients and are for training only.
