Recently The Alexa Trust was fortunate to support a BFI Stakeholder Event, organised by the London Neonatal Network (NHS).

The day went well and the atmosphere in the room was fantastic.  Lots of enthusiasm and people feeling inspired to take on the challenge of improving infant feeding.

After the event the questionnaire feedback from participants was reviewed.

Here is an outline:

• The event had 47 participants from 25 neonatal units in London with a wide range of roles within infant feeding. There are 27 units in London, so this was a great representation of our region.
• From the feedback we received, 100% of participants were satisfied with this event, with 87.5 % being extremely satisfied and finding it beneficial to their roles.
• Overall, attendees were very satisfied with the logistics of booking the event, the venue, the refreshments offered, and the opportunities to network.
