Early Pain, Lasting Impact: Understanding the Long-Term Consequences of Pain in Preterm Infants
Join us for an informative webinar presented by Dr Mia McLean, Senior Lecturer in Psychology and Neuroscience at Auckland University of Technology.
Preterm infants experience repeated painful procedures during a critical period of brain development. Whilst many children show remarkable resilience, these early experiences may shape later neurodevelopment, stress regulation and behaviour.
This presentation will explore the lasting legacy of early pain, the factors that influence vulnerability and resilience, and opportunities to support positive long-term outcomes.
