Multidisciplinary approaches to maternal health

We may only encounter pregnant women occasionally and may not have a working knowledge of either the dynamic physiology of pregnancy or the effect this has on the interpretation of examination findings and laboratory investigations. This may lead to a delay in the timely and appropriate management of the acutely unwell pregnant woman.

This programme was initially designed for trainees in Internal Medicine. It has been re-launched to support the wider multidisciplinary team including ACCS (Acute Care Common Stem), Obstetrics and Anaesthesia and all allied health professionals who encounter pregnant or recently pregnant women in their clinical practice. The programme has been updated to represent current knowledge and guidelines.

This programme was originally located on the elfh hub and was first published on 23 April 2022. It migrated on to the Learning Hub on 2 July 2024.
