Are you on the cusp of parenthood or contemplating expanding your family? The path to parenthood can be filled with numerous unknowns, especially for those experiencing this journey for the first time. The uncertainties surrounding what to expect and how to provide optimal care can stir feelings of apprehension.
Taking this into consideration, Mediclinic Newcastle stands ready to illuminate this transformative phase with its Pregnancy Education Workshop. Scheduled for 22 February 2025, from 2 PM to 4 PM.
This event is meticulously crafted to equip you with indispensable knowledge and the confidence you need for this life-altering adventure.
Scheduled to be held in the hospital’s conference centre, the workshop promises an afternoon replete with expert insights, interactive learning opportunities, and the invaluable support of a like-minded community.
Moreover, Heather Govere, the newly appointed Patient Experience Manager at Mediclinic, has passionately stated that this workshop marks “the greatest start to this wonderful journey.”
Having assumed her role on 1 February 2025, Heather affirms that she is committed to delivering an exemplary patient experience at Mediclinic Newcastle, providing a positive patient experience from admission to discharge.
Furthermore, it should be stressed that Heather is no stranger to Mediclinic Newcastle, having previously served as the Patient Experience Manager from 2019 to 2021, before the advent of the global health crisis, COVID-19, and has now returned to bring her set of professional skills back to the hospital.
Looking at the event, Heather now encourages expectant families from Newcastle to not only partake in this enlightening workshop but to also tour the advanced Maternity Unit and Neonatal Intensive Care facilities at Mediclinic Newcastle. This visit offers a tangible glimpse into the services provided and an introduction to the dedicated team that will accompany expecting moms with their parenting journey.
This gathering underscores Mediclinic’s unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional support and resources at every stage of the parenting odyssey.
As Govere explains, the workshop is designed to provide attendees with clarity and direction, highlighting the specialised care available at Mediclinic Newcastle, to ensure a seamless transition into parenthood. Additionally, the workshop will be facilitated by an esteemed group of specialists including obstetricians, paediatricians, and dieticians.
When taking the details of the day into account, Mathys Bornman, Doctor Relationship Manager, guarantees that the sessions will be customised to address specific individual needs.
From unravelling the mysteries of prenatal care and childbirth to offering practical guidance on newborn care and nutrition for both mother and child, this workshop covers the spectrum of essential preparations. Moreover, paediatricians will impart their wisdom on infant care, while dieticians will counsel on the best nutritional practices for a healthy beginning.
Interactive discussions will form the backbone of the workshop, providing a platform for queries and the sharing of experiences among participants and experts alike, fostering a deeper understanding and readiness for the parenting journey ahead.
A notable feature of the event will be the sophisticated high-tea session, tailored to encourage networking and relaxation among fellow soon-to-be parents. This communal environment not only fosters connections but also establishes a supportive network imperative for the journey into parenthood.
The Pregnancy Education Workshop transcends being just an event; it’s a rite of passage into parenthood, backed by knowledge, support, and community.
Whether you are already expecting or planning for the future, this workshop lays down a robust foundation in a welcoming and engaging environment. Seize this opportunity to learn from the best, connect with peers, and prepare for the profound journey of parenthood.
“Our team epitomises compassionate care, relentlessly supporting new mothers and their precious newborns,” says Gwen Williams, the celebrated Daisy Award recipient and Unit Manager.
Diving further into the topic, Gwen explains, “Their dedication and passion are evident in every gesture, from a comforting touch to imparting crucial knowledge that empowers families. Their commitment to nurturing both physical and emotional health turns childbirth into a journey of trust and deep connection. We’re more than caregivers; we’re partners in these initial, essential steps of life, ensuring each family feels valued and supported.”
