REFRESHMENTS: Morning and afternoon tea/coffee with croissant/biscuits are included in the course fee. Lunch can be bought in the ground floor Coffee Shop.
COST:
£90 per day when an invoice to a trust or hospital is required.
£70 per day if paying by cheque or cash at time of booking.
£60 per day for unwaged Breastfeeding Counsellors and Student Midwives.
For those booking several, fees may be paid one at a time, but only if paid at least one month in advance.
CANCELLATIONS: Students may cancel up to two weeks beforehand to receive a refund less 20% admin fee. A student may send a substitute in their place without any extra cost.
In the unlikely event that I would be unable to provide a Study Day for which I have received bookings I would provide a full refund to each student and then re-schedule the day so students would have another opportunity to attend that part of the programme.
MONEY BACK GUARANTEE: Full refund, no quibble, if not entirely satisfied.
CERTIFICATES FOR PROFESSIONAL STUDY : 6.5 hours.
6.5 L (lactation) CERPS awarded by IBLCE for Days #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 12
6.5 hours, E (ethics) CERPS awarded by IBLCE for Day #8
FORMAT: A combination of lecture, games, video, discussion, handouts, practical demonstration, dramas, case studies and skills practice which link theory to everyday work with breastfeeding mothers and babies. There is variety and we have fun! Each Study Day ends with some optional multiple choice exam questions for any who want to test recall and problem solving around the topic for that day, thus providing great practice for "The Exam."
BABIES AT STUDY DAYS: Babes in arms are welcome if the mum agrees to step outside the room if her baby becomes noisy and participants are no longer able to hear, be heard or to concentrate. The Study Days are not suitable or safe for mobile babies.
ENQUIRIES: You are welcome to contact Deborah with any questions you may have.
