Background knowledge and practical skills

Leading on the implementation of Baby Friendly best practice standards requires specific project and change management skills. As many of the individuals charged with this task come from specific clinical background they may find the process of organising and planning for such a biog change overwhelming. The project management course aims to provide participants with ideas, skills and an opportunity to use project management tools to help them plan and use their time most effectively. Developing influencing skills, getting support for your project, understanding the impact of change and working to get the most from your manager will all be covered within the course.
