PRECONCEPTION CARE

Preconception care is focused on optimising a woman's health prior to conception to improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes.  Although there have been attempts to improve the delivery of preconception care, barriers still exist. These include lack of resources to assist in the delivery of guideline recommendations and difficulty targeting patients who are most at risk.

SPHERE is investigating these barriers and will focus on methods or tools that can be used to implement  the preconception care guidelines from Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.
