What you will learn

Our aim is to educate residents doctors about:

• Maternity leave, paternity leave & SPL - know your rights, focus on eligibility
• Brief overview of timeline including: what to do when you find out you are pregnant, key deadlines to inform different people, what the risk assessment involves and what the options are (including case studies)
• Shared parental leave - what the options are (fixed rights) + other options. Every doctor has the right to take shared parental leave
• Breastfeeding - rights, including case studies to make it clear the extent of rights.
