Anatomy and Physiology - revisited
17th April 2009
The days are planned to be informal, interactive workshops where we can share and develop our knowledge and skills. This will be provided through a combination of presentations, discussions, case studies, videos, picture reviews and practical demonstrations. On each day there will be an opportunity to review research based evidence and to answer multiple choice questions which can provide practice opportunities for anyone considering taking the International Lactation Consultants examination.
Please note that the IBLCE does not endorse any particular study day of course.
Aim of the Day:
To acknowledge and build on knowledge and skills on breast anatomy and physiology, and through applying this understanding use it in practice.
