Information during this workshop will be presented by way of research informed discussion and case studies with a heavy emphasis on practical skills for sidelying positions as well as transition skills from prone and supine. To attend to the complete repertoire of pregnancy based skills, we will also address bolstered supine as well as tips & tricks for using pregnancy bolster equipment.
