Poster presentation: Curriculum planning - working in partnership with student midwives in the development of breastfeeding education

The midwifery lecturing team at Bangor University is working towards Baby Friendly Initiative University accreditation. In preparation for the Stage 1 assessment, the designated lead for infant feeding within the programme evaluated the programme from the student perspective over a two year period. Feedback from students regarding the infant feeding sessions and practical assessments assisted the team to plan how the curriculum could incorporate the Baby Friendly standards to ensure that they were met, and that the information provided supported the needs of students throughout the programme.
