‘It heartens me to see so many passionate people come together to broaden their knowledge of breastfeeding and sharing information. Supporting women on their breastfeeding journeys has been proven to increase the numbers of breastfed babies and the length of time they are breastfed; let’s do more of this!’
‘It was relevant to my current practice in meeting the needs of the women that I see. It was great to see information relating to changes in practice. Treasure, in particular was an amazing presenter and her content was so interesting with her presentation style being so engaging’
‘Every year I look forward to the hp seminar which always has engaging speakers, important research to practice updates and a chance to catch up with like-minded professionals in this area! I always look forward to it and always leave with my cup full. Many thanks!’
‘An excellent opportunity to learn and network in an environment where everyone is as passionate as you about breastfeeding and the work we do.’
