What’s included?

This course has been developed directly from research about physiological breech birth and what may make breech birth safer in general. You will learn the principles and practice of physiological breech birth by following a systematic, problem-solving approach: identifying the problem and learning to apply the solution most likely to resolve it.

This course is an online version of the study day we offer. Once you have purchased the course you will have full access for one year, after which you can renew your access for a further £10 per year.
