Hi! My name is Lin Miles and I am new to Lactnet. I am a registered Nurse, Midwife and Health Visitor and have just sat my ILCA exam. I have worked mainly as a community midwife(home births etc.)approx. 9 years but for the last 5 years, I have worked as a Health Visitor in Oxford and Swindon (U.K.).I combine this with a new role of Breastfeeding co-ordinator and chairing the local breastfeeding group. I have 3 children and 2 step children,mostly gone! Also 2 Irish grandchildren. Well enough about me. I would like to ask for your help. I am in the process of applying for a nursing scholarship for study overseas. I am particularly interested in community pragrammes that promote and support breastfeeding, especially programmes that have increased start and continuation. This would enable me to share with colleagues locally and nationally new ideas and good practice. It may be anywhere in the world. I know there is a good deal happening. Any suggestions please together with contact names and addresses if pos. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
