An update: Assessing key micronutrient needs of women in Australia in preconception and pregnancy – ACRRM

After participating in this program, GPs will be better able to:

1. Review the influence of micronutrient status in pregnancy on maternal and foetal health.
2. Recall the specific key micronutrient needs of pregnant and breast-feeding women in Australia.
3. Recall Australian guidelines on iron supplementation in pregnancy, and apply these to pregnant patients with iron sufficiency or low iron.
4. Recommend supplements that meet the needs of their patients and are in line with Australian guidelines and emerging evidence.
