Postgraduate Certificate

Breastfeeding for Midwives

The Spanish Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (SEGO) considers that the birth of a healthy child is not, although it may seem so, a casual event. It is the result of a great deal of care and attention given with generosity and professionalism by different professional categories. It also considers that delivery care should be based on the principles of humanization, fetal control and pain relief. For this reason, it is believed that the protocols for assistance during dilatation and delivery must prioritize the safety and health of both the mother and the newborn. The end objective is to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the new-born child during the whole birth process.

Description

This Postgraduate Certificate in Breastfeeding for Midwives contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market”

The midwife works in the care and attention of pregnant women ensuring their hygiene, comfort, psychological support and nutritional care, as well as her own safety, development and overall health: the basic principles to ensure effective care. Thanks to the evolution of low-intervention childbirth proposed by the Ministry of Health and Social Policy, the different health professionals who work with the pregnant woman must provide adequate and effective care. They must reduce unnecessary interventions to a minimum, ensuring the privacy of the pregnant woman as well as favouring the care of the newborn, such as cleaning, placing identification bracelets and keeping them in close contact with the mother, favouring the maternal-filial bond.

Midwives play an essential role in the evolution of the pregnant woman, the postpartum mother and her newborn. They are professionals who are directly dedicated to the care of women, with the knowledge that allows them to achieve care in favor of the recommendations on normal childbirth, as well as the latest standards developed in the Clinical Guide for Normal Childbirth published by the Ministry of Health and Social Policy.

This line of thought and action coincides with a strong change that has to take place in the relationship between health teams and the female patient, to move from a technical relationship to one in which the bioethical principle of autonomy and attention to the integrity of the person involved is prioritised. The aim is to comprehensively address the process that women face during childbirth and thus improve health outcomes for them and their babies.

The general aim of this educational program is to update the knowledge and skills of midwives so they can address the health needs of women and their future children with scientific rigor and maximum level of professionalism. This training was created in response to multiple needs in the hospital environment for all professionals, both for those recently incorporated and those who have been providing their professional services for some time and who require constant up-to-date training in this very specific area of practice.
