Denise Pemberton
Infant feeding specialist and midwife, and a member of the NICE PNC guideline committee
Speaker's biography
Denise has worked as a midwife since 1985 and in infant feeding since 1999 when she was first successful with the IBCLE examination. Most of her career has been within the Maternity service, having worked across the East Midlands, but she now works within the Health Visiting Service in Derbyshire, as an Infant Feeding Specialist. This has given her an interesting perspective on the infant feeding journey.
She has experience implementing Baby Friendly, training staff and providing specialist feeding support to families.
Her passion is to work to dovetail services to meet the needs of families.
Her latest adventure has been with the birth of her granddaughter in May 2021, supporting her daughter and son-in-law with the early days of parenthood.
Dr Ishi Bains
NHS GP based in the London borough of Tower Hamlets, and Clinical Lead, WEL CCG women’s health transformation programme
Speaker's biography
Dr Bains is the Clinical lead for the WEL CCG women’s health transformation programme, creating a holistic women’s health service and pathway redesign. The project prioritises patient experience and value, ensuring access to the right service first time, in a timely fashion, closer to home, as well as supporting primary care clinicians in their management of women’s health problems.
She is a mother of two, with a third on its way in just a few weeks and is both a GP and patient in the inner city borough she works and lives. From her personal and professional experience, Dr Bains has developed a passionate interest in the need and importance of improved postnatal care received by new mums, and supporting their physical, emotional, mental health and wellbeing.
She has organised and presented at educational postnatal care events for clinicians and patients, and improved templates, pathways and resources accessible to primary care staff. This is to support awareness and knowledge of patient’s needs in the postpartum period, with the aim to improve management and access to the secondary care or community services required. She has been awarded recognition for her work by the RCGP and Tower hamlets GP care group.
She has also been a long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) clinical lead and is a LARC fitter. Here she worked on a referral and treatment pathway for a new community clinic to provide a better contraception service and the uptake of LARC.
Dr Bains also has an interest in treating sleep disorders and is a certified CBT-insomnia therapist.
