New Publication: Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing – 4th Edition
We're pleased to celebrate the publication of the fourth edition of Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing, edited by COINN Board Member Julia Petty, alongside Lisa Kaiser and Glenys Boxwell.
This comprehensive, evidence-based textbook provides updated guidance for neonatal nurses, allied health professionals and students caring for sick newborn infants.
The book features contributions from a multidisciplinary team, including COINN's Tracey Jones, who co-authored Chapter 13, Thermal Care of the Neonate, alongside Cassie Swire. The chapter covers neonatal thermoregulation, thermal instability and practical approaches to thermal care across different clinical settings.
The latest edition also introduces new content on antenatal and perinatal care, continuing care beyond the neonatal unit, diagnostic neonatal practice and family-centred care.
Congratulations to Julia, Tracey and everyone involved in this important publication!

Call to Action: We Must Act Now to Save Newborn Lives
Every newborn, everywhere, deserves the opportunity to survive and thrive.
COINN is calling for immediate, coordinated action across three essential pillars: education, workforce, and policy. These efforts must move forward together, nationally and internationally, to improve neonatal survival and health outcomes globally.
Three pillars. Two levels of action. One shared responsibility.
• Join our global community dedicated to raising the standards of neonatal nursing care and education •
Accelerating Maternal-Child Survival Through Interprofessional Collaboration
Joint Statement of Intent: COINN, FIGO, ICM, ICN & IPA
In June 2026, the Council of International Neonatal Nurses (COINN) joined FIGO, ICM, ICN, and IPA in Lisbon, Portugal, to launch a landmark Joint Statement of Intent focused on accelerating maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent survival through interprofessional collaboration.
This partnership brings together the collective voice of nursing, midwifery, obstetrics and gynaecology, neonatal nursing, and paediatrics to advocate for stronger health systems, improved workforce investment, evidence-based solutions, coordinated advocacy, and enhanced collaboration across professions.
The statement marks the beginning of a global commitment to reducing preventable maternal and newborn deaths and improving health outcomes for women, newborns, children, and adolescents worldwide.

About COINN
The Council of International Neonatal Nurses, Inc or COINN is an exciting organization that represents nurses who specialize in the care of newborn infants and their families or have a special interest in this area of nursing. COINN (Council of International Neonatal Nurses, Inc), pronounced just like the money-currency or a coin – acts much like money as a method of exchange of information among countries. COINN (Council of International Neonatal Nurses, Inc) is part of the growing international community of nurses that represents a resource for nurses that want to form a national or local organization, create guidelines for care or professional standards or just want advice on neonatal nursing issues.
Our Vision
COINN represents global unity in neonatal nursing, advocating for the profession, influencing policy, and improving healthcare outcomes. As a leader in neonatal care, COINN collaborates with healthcare, corporate, and public groups, while educating professionals, policymakers, and the public.
