Palliative care is an integral element of care provision in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Healthcare providers working in NICUs are likely to provide palliative care at some point in their career. ⋯ There is a need for further research investigating the specific types of training required by healthcare providers in NICU settings who are providing bereavement/palliative care to neonates, in order to best support the families' needs in these situations.
