Welcome from Dr. Sasha Darwazeh – Ambassador, Parental Leave Support Network (PLSN)
Welcome to our Parental Leave Support Network page! We’re a community of GPs who understand the joys and challenges of welcoming a new baby into our lives. Whether you’re planning to take parental leave, are currently on leave, or returning to work, we’re here to provide you with the resources, tools, and support you need to navigate this exciting journey.
On this webpage, you’ll find a wealth of information and advice on topics such as planning for parental leave, adjusting to life as a new parent, and transitioning back to work. We offer practical tips and real-life testimonials to help you make the most of your parental leave and achieve a fulfilling and sustainable work-life balance. You’ll also have access to a community of like-minded parents who can share their experiences, offer encouragement, and provide a listening ear. So, whether you’re a first-time parent or a seasoned pro, we invite you to explore our website and join our community today!
