Learning that fits around your baby, not the other way around
Watch whenever your baby lets you
Courses are available on demand across all devices. No schedules to keep, no live sessions to fit around a newborn. Watch for ten minutes or an hour, whenever the moment allows.
Come back whenever you need to
Babies change quickly and so do your questions. Your course access never expires. Revisit any module as your baby grows, share PDF summaries with your partner, or go back to something you want to hear again.
Straight answers, no second-guessing
Every module is built around the questions parents actually ask, not textbook scenarios. You will finish each course knowing exactly what to watch for, what to do, and when to seek help.
Every new parent is asking the same questions
You are not alone in any of this. These are the questions that reach us most, and every one of them is answered inside a ParentMed course.
My baby's breathing sounds different. Is this normal or do I need to worry?
Everyone around me has an opinion. Who do I actually trust?
My paediatrician appointment is too short. I leave with more questions than I came in with.
I don't always know when something is serious enough to act on.
My baby has a rash, a temperature, hasn't gained weight. What is urgent and what isn't?
I want the very best for my baby. I just want to make sure I'm giving it to them.
The right knowledge at the right time changes everything. That is what ParentMed is here for.

Why we built
ParentMed
Three NHS Consultant Paediatricians. One shared belief: that every parent deserves access to clear, clinical, trustworthy guidance from the very first day. Watch to hear why we built this, in our own words.
Three doctors. One shared mission.
ParentMed was founded by three NHS Consultant Paediatricians who between them cover neonatal care, respiratory medicine, developmental paediatrics, and general paediatrics. Each course is built around their specific clinical expertise, so what you learn is taught by the doctor most qualified to teach it.
Clinical Lead, Special Care Baby Unit
Dr Clare Hollingsworth
Consultant Paediatrician · BM (Hons), MRCPCH, PGCert Child Health
Clare leads the Special Care Baby Unit at her NHS hospital and specialises in the neurodevelopmental follow-up of premature and vulnerable babies alongside paediatric critical care. She brings a level of clinical depth that only comes from years at the most demanding end of newborn medicine, combined with a personal understanding of early parenthood that makes her one of the most empathetic teachers on the team.
General Paediatrics and Neonatal Intensive Care
Dr Munisha Balain
Consultant Paediatrician · MBBS, MRCPCH, PGDip Child Health
Munisha has spent her career across the full range of paediatric medicine, from neonatal intensive care to general paediatrics in hospitals across the UK. She is known for her ability to make complex clinical situations feel manageable. Her teaching philosophy is straightforward: when parents understand what is happening and why, they make better decisions for their baby.
Specialist in Paediatric Respiratory Medicine
Dr Will Verling
Consultant Paediatrician · MBBS, BSc (Hons), MRCPCH, PGCert
Will has practised across the UK and Australia with a focus on paediatric respiratory medicine. Breathing concerns are among the most common and most frightening questions new parents face, and Will has spent his career becoming one of the most experienced doctors in the NHS at answering them. He built the Take a Deep Breath course so parents have a clear, clinical answer before they ever need one.
Each course on ParentMed is taught by the doctor whose clinical specialty it falls within. When you learn about infant breathing, you learn from a respiratory specialist. When you learn about newborn development, you learn from a neonatal expert. That is not how most parenting education works. It is how ours does.
