Education Sessions for Volunteers
Lowestoft and Waveney aim to offer low cost education sessions from our team of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) to enable those volunteering and working within the world of infant feeding continue to learn and develop their skills.
These sessions are offered online and recordings are available after the event. No CERPs are applied to these sessions.
