COURSE DESCRIPTION
This joint Precongress Course focuses on scienti c, societal and ethical issues which interact with preconception and early pregnancy care, as well as outcomes for the future child, and social consequences.
TARGET AUDIENCE
ART practitioners, research scientists, epidemiologists, social scientists and policy-makers, doctors, nurses and midwives.
EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES
This course is designed to provide the latest evidence on the effects of pre-conception care and uterine environment, promote discussion of their social interactions, as well as elucidate the relevant ethical questions.
The course was designed following the participant discussion during the Munich early pregnancy PCC in 2014. Here it became clear that what happens during early pregnancy is critical to long-term human healt when we want to improve the early pregnancy environment for the fetus by improving the mother’s health before or during early pregnancy we need more than just gynaecologists and midwifes. We need to involve society and understand the ethical and, legal implications and solutions. Hence this course addresses an educational need identi ed by participants at a previous ESHRE meeting.
