These workshops are open to those booked at the Oxfordshire hospitals. They take place in the Education Room on Level 1 of the Women's Centre at the John Radcliffe Hospital, which is on the corridor opposite the reception desk on Level 1.
If you would prefer an online workshop, then please choose one of the alternative Workshop 4s by Emma or Camila.
For the registration we will ask for some background information from you for auditing purposes (including, hospital ID, stage of pregnancy, ethnicity, how many children you have and the first part of your postcode).
PLEASE BOOK ONE TICKET PER PERSON ATTENDING. YOU CAN BOOK A MAXIMUM OF 2 TICKETS - ONE EACH FOR YOU AND A COMPANION (THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONLINE WORKSHOPS)
