Building on the success of the last four years, and to give maximum flexibility for everyone to take part/attend, BfN’s annual conference and AGM will be held virtually so we can reach as many people as possible.
Open to all, our virtual online conference is taking place 10:15am – 3:00pm on Saturday 5th October 2024, with an exciting programme of guest speakers joining us to share their knowledge, insight and experiences. The BfN annual conference is an exciting and informative event for our volunteers, parents, families and health professionals with an interest in breastfeeding, infant feeding and related topics.
Members of BfN are also invited to join our virtual Annual General Meeting from 9:00am – 10:00am.
Speakers
We have some great speakers booked to share with you their knowledge, information and experience in their various roles across the infant feeding sector:
· Comedian Chantel Nash is a BBC New Comedy Award Finalist 2023 and mum of two and will be talking about her own breastfeeding journey.
· Dr Yan-Shing Chang, Lecturer at King’s College London in the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care, will be presenting her research into face-to-face and virtual breastfeeding support given by BfN during the first year of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
