Roview of Business Despite the persistent challenges of funding and 8t8ffing within the NHS, Baby Lifeline Training was able to provide trainlng pLace8 to around 2,500 delegat88 during the year- lower than the last 2 y88r8 but stlll above the average for the precedlng 3 ye8rs. Part of the re88on for this decrease was the development and dellvery of a new training programme that provided 8peciali8t training over many months to a relatlV8ly small cohort of delegates. The feedback, which will be broken down In more detall later In this report. remained exceptionally positive, and ttte proportion of delegate8 r£tlng the quallty of education as "excellent" {the highest rating) remalned 8t a very high level. 28% of 8tandard training cour8e8 were delivered online. down from 30% last year, 60% in 2021-22 and 951Yo In 2020-21.

When considering the courses that last more than 1 day, the company detiv8red a totsl of 3,500 days of tr8ining. A8 in previous years. most bookings came dlrectly from NHS Trusts and Health Boards. There Were tsvo primary causes for th8 decrease in booklngs. both of which had been anticipated. The first was 8 relatively low number of hlgh-voLume online courses, whiGh was due to a lack of faculty av8i18billty. Additional faculty members have been £dded as a r8suIt, and the number of thasa courses is expected to return to previou8 levels next yo8r. The second, as alluded to oarller, was involvement In th8 development of a specla118t tralnlng package forthe n9w role of Independent S8niorAdvocat88 (ISA} for NHS England. Th18 was a very 8ignificant and important plece of work, but it was onLy for a relattvely smell number of delegates so had Ilttle impact on the tot81 number of att8ndee8.
