KNOV accreditation approved

<

We are very proud to announce that the KNOV (Dutch Midwifery Association) accredited the Summit with 16 accreditation points.

To remain qualified and competent and develop sustainably in the Dutch profession, birth professionals must constantly be active with continuing education and training. We see this assignment of 16 accreditation points as an important qualification for the Postnatal rEvolution Summit.

Accreditation to the KCKZ (Maternity care), NBvD (Doulas), and SKB (PsychoSocial care) is pending, and we expect a response from these professional groups soon.

NEDERLANDS:

We zijn erg trots te kunnen melden dat de KNOV (Nederlandse Organisatie van Verloskundigen) de Summit heeft geaccrediteerd met 16 accreditatie punten. Om gekwalificeerd en bekwaam te blijven en om zich duurzaam te ontwikkelen in het vak, moeten geboorteprofessionals voortdurend actief zijn met bij- en nascholing. Wij zien deze toekenning van 16 accreditatie punten als een belangrijke kwalificatie voor de Postnatale rEvolutie Summit.

De accreditatie naar de KCKZ (Kraamzorg), NBvD (Doulas) en SKB (PsychoSociale zorg) is in behandeling en we verwachten binnenkort een reactie van deze beroepsgroepen.
