3.30pm
Keynote
Speaker: Dr Jonathan Scourfield, Professor of Social Work, Cardiff University
Other speakers include:

University, England. ‘Fathers’ care of their child during an acute
admission to hospital’
Dr Amy Brown, Swansea University. ‘Father’s role in supporting breastfeeding’.
Dr Ruth Davies and Mrs Cathy Taylor ‘Fathers and Flying Start in Wales’.
Fathers are increasingly
involved in their child ‘s health and
well being yet evidence from research and practice seems to show that this is
not always recognised by health and social care professionals. This conference
will explore both recent and emerging research in relation to this and how
future research with fathers may lead to better understanding of the role they play and in doing so
improve services for fathers and their families..
This event is free to fathers and
practitioners in health and social care and a light lunch will be provided. To
