Bring your baby while you learn
BringBaby aims to provide educational updates to those on parental leave, career breaks or recently returned to work.
During the COVID-19 pandemic all our events are via webinar. Each event includes educational workshops and interactive discussions. Our baby-centred session with baby yoga, massage or music has been replaced with our tailored relaxation package including yoga and mindfulness to complete at your leisure.
We look forward to welcoming you back to our face to face events when possible but for now our baby friendly education continues online. All events are open to those with or without babies.
Find Out MoreThe educational programme and facilitation is fully coordinated by Dr Fiona Leckie & Dr Tamara Keith, founders of BringBaby; two GP partners who are experienced in GP recruitment and training.
