IMPORTANT
NOTE
Our
antenatal teachers, breastfeeding counsellors and postnatal
leaders undergo a thorough training with the NCT although they
are not required to be medically qualified. All teachers,
counsellors and leaders are expected to keep up to date with
the latest developments in maternity care and must register
with us every year. Their role is to offer support,
information, practical skills and resources to help parents
make informed choices for themselves and their babies. They do
not offer medical advice and parents are asked to take any
questions about the medical care of mother and baby to their
midwife, health visitor or doctor.
