This short presentation will provide the participant with an understanding of the Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative® by outlining the International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes and the 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding.

This course is free for clients who purchase additional courses.

Presentation Options

As a free course (conditions apply) there are two options for presentation to your ancillary staff:

Enrollment

Each staff member is enrolled individually under the organization account and assigned a username and password which is emailed to their nominated email address.

The staff member is then responsible for logging in to their student account, watching the video presentation and collecting the completion certificate. Students have 12 months to access the video and are able to be included in all organization reports.

Group Viewing

If you have a large group of ancillary staff or your ancillary staff do not have access to an email address, a link to the presentation can be supplied for your organization to host group viewings of the video presentation. Baby-friendly accreditation requires accurate records of all staff education therefore there must be a sign-in sheet kept on file for group viewings of this nature.
