Description
I have included the course information below. You would be provided with a log in to access the course as and when you wish, with no time limits and in your own time. This training is ONLINE. You can print off your certificate at the end and also out logo which you may use. There are NO other costs involved other than the course fee.
This training has been delivered in person (before covid) at universities such as Kings college, UWE, Swansea, University of South Wales, Leeds, Manchester, Uclan and Sheffield Hallam being the most recent as well as NHS Trusts across the UK over the last ten years.
By taking this training ensures that you can show that you have also embraced the more difficult and emotionally challenging aspects of the profession and that you can support families at the darkest of times.
We are currently offering two courses at heavily reduced rates to coincide with national baby loss awareness month
.1.Pregnancy and Infant Loss: £25
.2.Supporting clients with a subsequent pregnancy after loss: £25
Both are online and can be accessed in your own time. You will receive certification, use of our logo and depending on what course you have studied – a listing on our register on our website as either an accredited pregnancy and infant loss specialist or an accredited specialist in supporting clients with subsequent pregnancies after loss. You will also receive our e books “Pregnancy and Infant Loss: A Guide for Professionals” and “Little wings: A mothers experience of losing her daughter to Sudden Infant Death aged 6 weeks”
