Infant Sleep Webinars
Infant Sleep Webinars
The Durham Infancy & Sleep Centre research team offer two webinar packages, providing training on the topics of Normal Infant Sleep, and SIDS and Sleep Safety. The training is aimed at health-care professionals whose roles put them in contact with parents, families and parents-to-be, although it will also be of use and interest to peer supporters, volunteers, and independent practitioners such as doulas, independent midwives, and breastfeeding supporters.
We currently offer two packages:
- Normal Infant Sleep
- SIDS & Sleep Safety
These webinars self-directed and are hosted on our online learning platform, BasisLearn. They consist of pre-recorded video lectures, self-test quizzes, and a live online discussion. Each package begins with an introductory talk introducing the providers (DISC & BASIS) and the structure of the webcasts (20-30 mins), followed by 3 topical modules (approx. 1 hour each), self-test quizzes about each topic (10 min each) culminating with a 60-minute online discussion (5 hours in total).

At the end of 4 weeks, participants are expected to attend a live discussion session hosted by the BASIS team who will be available to answer questions, discuss any information not covered in the recorded lectures and you can share ideas for practice with other training participants.
