Dentist Anna-Katharina Weigandt has designed a continuing education course for us specifically for midwives on the topic of oral restriction in infants. 

Here are the topics you can expect:

Dr. Weigandt will first introduce the anatomical basics and the various classification systems, as well as discuss the range of clinical findings. Many are primarily familiar with the very pronounced restrictions, but even mild to moderate forms—especially at first glance—often lead to significant symptoms in both mother and child. 

Next, we’ll discuss practical implementation: What treatment options are available? What are the pros and cons of different surgical techniques? What’s essential during preparation, how is post-operative care structured, and what’s particularly important when supporting parents?

We will accept your registrations until August 10, 2026, at our Midwifery Center via email or by phone during the specified office hours.

As usual, the training is free of charge for midwives registered with us.

Special measures are necessary to get the traces of pregnancy, birth and early and late postpartum back under control. Closing the rectus diastasis and normalizing pelvic floor function are the core elements of this work. A basic knowledge of typical pathologies and their treatment such as incontinence, organ prolapse and pain in the pelvic ring are helpful components of this training.

Ms. Henscher will discuss topics such as functional pelvic floor work, adapted abdominal muscle training, pelvic floor-friendly everyday behavior, posture correction and advice on aids (e.g. pessaries) with us and also provide practical exercises.
Ms. Henscher is happy to respond to special needs and questions at any time.

We will accept your registrations until 28.08.2026 by e-mail or by telephone during our specified office hours.

Midwives need to refresh their knowledge of first aid and resuscitation at regular intervals - a corresponding offer is available in cooperation with the DRK Hannover on 17.11.2026 from 10:00 to 14:00.
A speaker from the DRK will guide you through these hours and teach you the latest on resuscitation measures for infants and adults.
The training course will take place on the premises of the DRK at Apollostraße 2 in Ronnenberg - Empelde.

The training is free of charge for registered midwives. The costs are covered by the Hannover Region.
Registration can be made by email to hebammenzentrale@region-hannover.de or by telephone during the specified office hours.
The hours can be credited towards the continuing education requirement for midwives.

At the end of the year and shortly before the Advent season, we would like to organize a joint exchange among colleagues. We will meet over coffee, tea and treats on 02.12.2026 from 09.30 - 12.00. The event will take place on the premises of the Hannover Region. We will inform you about the exact schedule about one week before the event.

We look forward to seeing you :)

Please register with us at the midwifery center by 28.11.2026 .
