ALCI Ireland

ALCI’s Spring Seminar this year takes place on Saturday March 13^th in University College Hospital, Galway. The day promises to provide the usual blend of  stimulation and networking, and follows on from our highly successful Conference in Maynooth.  Among the highlights will be a talk on herbal medicine and breastfeeding and Anne Marie Oglesby, a Clinical Risk Advisor, will be giving a talk entitled ‘Documentation & Standards: Legal and Ethical Considerations’. This will relate directly to the afternoon sessions of group work, on the theme of documenting lactation support. Other speakers include Mary Toole, Maura Lavery and Mary Mahon.

The day (including lunch and other refreshments) will cost Є45 for ALCI members and Є55 for non members by post or on the day.

The first weekend in October saw this year’s ALCI Annual Conference take place in the Glenroyal Hotel, Maynooth, Co. Kildare. Over 80 delegates attended, and feedback was very positive for both the educational and social aspects of the event.

Highlights included two presentations and workshop from Keynote Speaker Prof. Fiona Dykes as well as presentations on Hypernatraemia, Tongue Tie and the recently published National Infant Feeding Survey.

Many individuals who are long established in the promotion of breastfeeding attended, as well as those who are just beginning on the path of providing support to breastfeeding mothers and their babies. The networking aspect of the weekend is, indeed, as valuable as the educational aspect.

A very enjoyable Members Dinner took place after the conference, and Saturday saw a lively and informative AGM during which three Council members were wished all the best for their retirement.

The next ALCI event will be the Spring Study Seminar in University Hospital, Galway on March 13^th. Further updates of this event will be available from this website.
