Be Aware, proper Underwear - March 2008

This month's Practising Midwife Magazine, has a 2 page feature about the side effects of badly fitting bras, particularly for pregnant and breastfeeding women. If you don't get this magazine and would like a copy of the article, please call the office on 0845 217 8942, or email info@support4women.co.uk, and we will send you a copy.

The best way to ensure you can offer the correct advice about bras to the ladies in your care is to come on one of our Bra Fitting Awareness Courses. We still have places on our May 6th Bra Fitting Awareness Course in Cardiff, or you could arrange for our trainer to come locally to you, for you and your colleagues - it would be a fixed fee for a training day arranged by yourselves, starting at £1000 + VAT. Contact us to book a place/book our trainer.

RCM Approved Workshops to be Held - January 16th 2008

The Royal College of Midwives has given its seal of approval to a new series of training workshops aimed at putting properly-fitted maternity and nursing underwear at the top of patient’s shopping lists.

In line with national campaigns to introduce better breast health awareness and promote breastfeeding, bras4mums.co.uk aims to ensure pregnant and breastfeeding women get underwear that supports major body changes.

The company - which employs a De Montford University trained bra fitter to dispense online and telephone advice free to its customers - is offering health care professionals a practical workshop that throws the spotlight on bras.

Workshops have so far been arranged in: Preston (20 February); Cardiff (6 May), London (9 July) and Birmingham (20 August). Contact Us for more details
