Successful midwifery congress in Bonn

At the pre­miere of the new major con­gress “pinard” for mid­wives on Feb­ru­ary 5, 2022 in Bonn, the mot­to was “Maid­en Flight” . A lot of fresh wind was expe­ri­enced by the 1,700 par­tic­i­pants who had reg­is­tered for the all-day train­ing in the Old Bun­destag. 500 of them were able to expe­ri­ence the lec­tures of the hybrid event direct­ly on site, the oth­ers dialed in. Pädia, a com­pa­ny spe­cial­iz­ing in OTC prod­ucts for chil­dren’s health, as one of the spon­sors, promis­es to make the major con­gress pos­si­ble again in the com­ing years.

This is what every­one was wait­ing for: After months of con­tact restric­tions, the thirst for knowl­edge among mid­wives was great, as was the desire for some­thing fun, a stim­u­lat­ing ambi­ence and an exchange with col­leagues. The “pinard” as the starter of the 2022 train­ing sea­son was able to meet all expec­ta­tions and proved itself in the planned hybrid for­mat. The mid­wives attend­ing exter­nal­ly were also able to fol­low the sev­en lec­tures with­out restric­tion and meet and net­work vir­tu­al­ly via an app, just as they did on site.

The range of top­ics was delib­er­ate­ly broad and includ­ed pelvic floor train­ing (right in the ple­nary hall), breast­feed­ing sup­port, vac­ci­na­tion in preg­nan­cy, co-sleep­ing, legal pit­falls, and the “bur­den with plea­sure.” Appro­pri­ate­ly invit­ed were the lec­tur­ing mid­wives as well as speak­ers from gyne­col­o­gy, sports ther­a­py, infec­tious dis­eases and pediatrics.

Good food and a relaxed learn­ing atmos­phere were pro­vid­ed by Team con­sil­i­um Hebamme, a spe­cial prod­uct-neu­tral and prac­tice-rel­e­vant ser­vice from Pädia. Infec­toPharm Arzneimit­tel and Con­sil­i­um GmbH with Medela Ger­many sup­port­ed the event as spe­cial­ists for pedi­atric drugs and breast pumps, respec­tive­ly, and con­tributed with their exper­tise in the field of con­tin­u­ing edu­ca­tion to a pro­fes­sion­al imple­men­ta­tion on a large scale and in ven­er­a­ble premises.
