About Us

The SIGNET Collaborative is an international group of clinicians, researchers, healthcare professionals, and family advocates dedicated to improving skin integrity care for extremely preterm infants (babies born before 28 weeks' gestation). Recognising the unique vulnerabilities of this population, SIGNET aims to build evidence, improve knowledge and skin care practices to maintain integrity through research, shared learning, and collaborative problem-solving.

Purpose

SIGNET Collaborative Network aims to

Improve the consistency and quality of skin integrity assessment and outcomes through harmonised tools, research protocols and clinical assessment strategies
