Conferences are one good venue; sessions at already existing conferences
would make a lot less work for organizers.
The web would be a great way to post policies, print journals is another.
Perhaps ILCA could add such a section to its website, and JHL could
add a regular column on policies in hospitals, workplaces, private
practices
etc. It would be a great service to the bf and health care communities.
Does anyone know if this is done in other areas of medicine, or even
perinatal
health? If so, how do they do it?
