Core Tip	Antenatal consultations for families expecting extremely preterm births are critical opportunities to align care with family values. Our review of current practice revealed that key elements of family context and values are often missing during consultation and not documented. In response, we designed and implemented a structured, evidence-informed training curriculum to equip neonatal care providers with practical skills to elicit and integrate family values during antenatal consultations. Our study shows improvement in participants’ perceived confidence to conduct value-centred discussions using conversation aids and shared decision-making tools. This curriculum addresses a recognized educational gap and offers a reproducible framework for promoting family-centred care.
