NHSGGC Provision of Breastfeeding Support Services
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde
Scope as published
NHS GGC recognises the important contribution that third-sector organisations can make through the provision of breastfeeding peer support. Peer support offers families access to people with relevant lived experience who can provide practical, social and emotional support, complementing the clinical and professional support provided by NHS services. The service will contribute to the implementation of the Scottish Government Breastfeeding and Infant Feeding Strategic Framework and NHS GGC's Infant Feeding Policy and will support the delivery and sustainability of UNICEF UK Baby Friendly standards. The successful provider will work in partnership with NHS GGC, Health and Social Care Partnerships (HSCPs), maternity, neonatal, health visiting, Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) and other relevant services to provide an integrated breastfeeding support offer across NHS GGC. The service will follow and develop the existing model of community breastfeeding peer support, including the delivery of breastfeeding/infant-feeding support groups, recruitment and training of peer volunteers and targeted engagement with communities experiencing inequalities.
