24. GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE: USA ā Breast Milk Banks fill needā ā I think it must be similar to what people who receive donated blood must feel, This kind of gift is so personal and can be monumental for those who receive itā says Shaw Trevor Hughes USA TODAY
NOTES FOR PRESENTERS: Key point to raise: No payment for the donated milk is given. Additional information: The following are also defined in the ākey to termsā: Donor milk depot: any place where donor milk can be stored before transfer to the milk bank. The depot can be run by the milk bank (for example, when donors are from wide geographic areas) or by volunteers. Drip milk: milk that is passively collected from one breast while the baby feeds at the other. Please ask your audience to refer to the ākey to terms ā on page 4 of the quick reference guide for a full list of definitions.
NOTES FOR PRESENTERS: ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION: This presentation has been written to help you raise awareness of the NICE clinical guideline on Donor breast milk banks : the operation of donor breast milk bank services . This guideline has been written for donor breast milk bank staff, healthcare professionals who care for babies who receive donor breast milk. The guideline makes recommendations on the safe and effective operation of donor milk services. These recommendations could also be used by organisations who are considering starting a donor breast milk bank. The guideline is available in a number of formats, including a quick reference guide. NICE recommends that you use the quick reference guide during your presentation so that your audience can refer to it. See the end of the presentation for ordering details. You can add your own organisationās logo alongside the NICE logo. We have included notes for presenters, broken down into ākey points to raiseā, which you can highlight in your presentation, and āadditional informationā that you may want to draw on, such as a rationale or an explanation of the evidence for a recommendation. Where necessary, the recommendation will be given in full. DISCLAIMER This slide set is an implementation tool and should be used alongside the published guidance. This information does not supersede or replace the guidance itself. PROMOTING EQUALITY Implementation of this guidance is the responsibility of local commissioners and/or providers. Commissioners and providers are reminded that it is their responsibility to implement the guidance, in their local context, in light of their duties to avoid unlawful discrimination and to have regard to promoting equality of opportunity. Nothing in this guidance should be interpreted in a way which would be inconsistent with compliance with those duties.
NOTES FOR PRESENTERS: Key points to raise: The last two bullet points on this slide are drawn from a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) report published in 2009, entitled āBreastfeeding promotion for infants in neonatal units: a systematic review and economic analysisā. This report concluded that if mechanisms by which donor milk is provided were improved, donor milk would become cost effective compared with using formula. This was based on a significant improvement in the operation of milk banking, and suggested models include setting up a national donor milk banking system similar to that for blood (Renfrew et al. 2009). Additional information: Women are recommended to breastfeed their baby exclusively for 6Ā months and continue to breastfeed after 6Ā months as part of a balanced diet (see www.dh.gov.uk for the latest Department of Health guidance on breastfeeding). In the UK, donor milk banks have been following guidance issued by various bodies. This includes a report on the collection and storage of human milk (Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy 1981) and, more recently, guidelines issued in 2003 by the UK Association for Milk Banking.
