Associate Professor Michael Fasher
“Dr Pamela Douglas is an inspiring colleague. The evidence accumulates about the importance and impact of a child’s nurture in the first two thousand days for their life-long chances in life. Dr Douglas has made a contribution second to none in Australian general practice in exploring effective strategies by which primary health care providers might support distraught parents of our youngest citizens troubled by early feeding and sleep difficulties. She has subjected her insights to clinical trial and published the evidence. Dr Douglas has then gone on to develop evidence-based educational material that is useful for parents and the health care workers who seek to support them. I am in awe. “
Our professional development opportunities for registered health professionals who work in early life care have been transforming clinical experience for the past 10 years. We now also offer educational opportunity for other providers and educators who work with parents and babies.
Breastfeeding, sleep, crying babies, maternal mood: excellence in evidence-based care. Because beginnings matter.
