Cultural Speakers
Cultural practices, beliefs, and norms play a very important role not only in delivering health care to clients and patients, but also in how that health care is received and what outcomes are possible. Diversity within those beliefs and practices, and as a result of available resources or social economic/demographic circumstances, must be fully understood in order for health care professionals to provide the best care possible no matter where they are in the world, or what culture they are practicing within.
At GOLD Perinatal Care, we understand the importance of Culture and Diversity in health care, and we are working hard to bring you speakers and presentations from around the world that will help you understand the patients and clients you are working with. Discovering how health care is provided and received in other countries and cultures around the world can have a positive impact on our own professional practice. Given that culture is defined by much more than political borders, GOLD Perinatal Care invites speakers to share their knowledge and expertise about perinatal health care from a geographically-based focus or a people-group focus from within a particular set of beliefs, lifestyle or minority. This year, our Culture and Diversity speakers will be presenting on:

Abstract: Breastfeeding mothers may turn to formula and/or bottles for many
reasons. Some supplementing with formula by bottle when they reach out for help, and for some moms,
supplementing by alternative methods may be very overwhelming. Some moms need or choose a combination
of breast milk and formula and others may decide to give occasional or regular bottles of expressed
milk. Whatever the reason, as health care professionals helping a mother to breastfeed, it is our
job to be able to help her to reach her own personal goals even when she needs, or chooses to use,
bottles or formula. Learn about baby-led bottle feeding and why it's so important, different types
of formula, their uses and how to prepare them, and how this all fits in with the WHO code and our
code of professional conduct.
