Description
The Newborn Hearing Screening team mainly work on the post natal wards, the birth centre and the neonatal unit. Sometimes they do a home visit or work in clinic.
The purpose of the hearing screen is to screen all eligible babies within a national timeframe in order to ensure that any baby requiring further testing is seen and assessed appropriately.
The Band 3 hearing screener role includes being able to identify which babies are eligible to screen. Speaking to parents or carers to gain informed consent as well as giving outcomes. Referring babies where needed.
The Hearing screeners use specialist equipment which they check each day before use. They are responsible for uploading their own data and outcoming their results on a national database.
Band 3 hearing screeners all work independently under Senior Screener supervision once training has been given and assessments have been passed.
