Neonatologist

Neonatologists specialise in caring for newborn babies, particularly those who are ill or born prematurely. They may also provide advice and consultation to expecting parents with certain risk factors, such as multiple births. Registration or licensing is required. The specialisation of 'Neonatologist' is a subset of the broader occupation of 'Paediatrician'. They perform some or all of the broader occupation’s tasks as well as additional tasks. This 'Neonatologist' profile should be combined with the broader 'Paediatrician' occupation profile in order to understand the full range of tasks undertaken by individuals in these roles.
