Building a neonatal POCUS program? You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. 💙

Join @NeoPOCUSCollab for our next virtual Office Hours, focused on Building Local Collaboration.

How do you find allies in your unit, bring different teams together, and keep your program moving forward? Bring your questions, share what’s working, and talk through the challenges with colleagues who understand.

Whether you’re picking up a probe for the first time or helping lead an established program, there’s a place for you in our growing community. Your experience may be exactly what another team needs to hear.

Before a scan guides care, ask: What question am I answering—and how confident am I in what I see?

Neonatal POCUS brings together image acquisition, interpretation, and clinical judgment. Recognizing limitations, seeking support, and learning through image review are part of that process.

Swipe through for practical prompts to bring to your next supervised scan or team discussion.

🎥 Take the conversation further with our NPC webinar, “Raising the Bar: Training and QA Framework for Safe Neonatal Ultrasound Practice,” featuring Dr. Maky Fraga.

Watch the webinar on YouTube.

How does your NICU team review uncertain scans? Share what’s working—and where you could use support.

Learn together. Build together.

Who helps your NICU turn an ultrasound machine into a program? The team around it.

Building neonatal POCUS takes a clear scope, supported learners, shared expertise, and a process for reviewing images and learning from them.

At @NeoPOCUSCollab, we want teams to feel comfortable bringing their questions and sharing their experience. Whether you’re choosing your first applications or strengthening an established program, your challenges and lessons can help another NICU move forward.

Swipe through for a starting framework, then explore our educational recordings and resources at neopocuscollab.com.

What is your unit working on next: training, image review, or program launch? Tell us where you could use support—or what has helped your team.
