{blacksquare} From two specific incidents causing 'inner discomforts', the practitioner in this study identified areas of her practice which needed further reflection

{blacksquare} The initial plan for a structured approach of evaluation was changed due to the effects that the methodology was having on the use of touch

{blacksquare} Some initiatives were introduced in order to sustain the changes brought about by this project on the neonatal unit
