Oh, I don't know, Pamela. This course will :

covers how breastfeeding works, how to treat common breast conditions (e.g.
mastitis, thrush) and prescribing drugs for breastfeeding mothers. The
course takes approximately 25 minutes to complete and can be accessed many
times, either at home or at the practice. Once the course is completed, GPs
can print off a certificate for their CPPE / CPD portfolio.<

Gee, I wish there was a 25 minute course that I could take that would teach
me everything I needed to help nursing mothers! They even throw in a
certificate!
