Re: HCP Inservice experience?

[Guest guest]

Hi Vicki, from a fellow North Carolinian! I bet it's pretty on Oak Island today!I think that's a great suggestions. We're leaning toward sessions like that which may help integrate our roles and give a better understanding of everyone's goals and how we can work together to meet them. , IBCLC, RLC, LLLLNC

Hey ....Vicki Carlson RN,IBCLC,RLC PPLC Coastal Breastfeeding Services, Oak Island, NC

I think it's real important to have a session on what private practice LCs do at a visit and also how what we do differs from the hospital based LC. I have found over the years that they don't know what we do or how we practice and once they know our story they are much more aware and feel comfortable with referring and working with us. Just a suggestion....

Take care

Vicki

I am planning with another IBCLC to put on a healthcare provider seminar/inservice for local nurses, pediatricians, IBCLCs, etc. We are working on a program.If you were able to present *any* topic to healthcare providers in your area, what would it be and why? I really want to try to meet the HCPs where they are and educate rather than condescend, if that's possible ;-)Thanks in advance! , IBCLC, RLC, LLLLNC

I love the suggestion regarding successful collaboration.

These are quite varying audiences, meaning what is appealing/relevant to a birth

center nurse and her scope of care, varies considerably from the perspective of

a physician/ped/family practice doc, and that of an IBCLC, right?

I think it is difficult to simultaneously appeal to all of these audiences. And

it's not impossible, particularly if they work within the same

setting/community, just challenging.

I'm developing 2 inservices as a result of a grant our organization received

from WIC and the DOH. These will be 4 hour session, and specific to meet the

needs of hospital nursing staff, so birth-3 days.

I don't even think we are going to pursue L-CERPS because my co-facilitator and

I suspect that this information is not necessarily going to appeal to an IBCLC,

it's fundamental breastfeeding initiation of term and preterm infants.

If you are presenting to physicians my thoughts are it is helpful for them to

understand the science behind breastmilk and its function, risks of formula, and

the services provided by an IBCLC. This lays the groundwork for why they would

even care about promoting breastfeeding, why they would care about avoiding

formula in the absence of a medical indication, and who their professional

resources are for referral and what they should expect in terms of exchange of

information regarding their patient have they have been served by an IBCLC.

Bottom line is I would want to reinforce the overwhelming health benefits of

breastfeeding and the health implications breastfeeding plays in the role of the

health of their community and patients.

Not geared to Docs, so no CME's.

What we are offering is RN CEU's and also contact hours through the

International Childbirth Education Association, www.ICEA.org because my

organization has a large volume of ICCE's certified with this body and it will

be free for our employees to attend so we are getting CEU's for them. So nursing

and educator continuing ed you could say. IBCLC's and doctors will certainly be

welcome, but we aren't targeting this audience.

If I were to offer for docs I would definitely get the CME's. I think to make it

successful for docs you should get a Dr. on board to consult with you and your

partner to describe how you can best meet their needs and to 'shill' for your

offering.

And....I really think going to them would be a huge plus. Meaning providing the

inservice at their place of employment if you can get to a big provider group

bring your presentation to them!

Sorry I cannot trim this post I don't know why! I tried and the previous content
