The Launch of a Special Interest Group in Pre-Conception Health
The first business meeting of the Pre conception Health Special Interest Group (PCH-SIG) attended by 22 keen individuals was held at the Fertility Society of Australia (FSA) annual conference in Perth, Australia on 26th of October, 2009. We identified a number of aims for the group including:
- Identification of models of care to address and assess lifestyle factors in fertility clinics across Australia,
- Development and synthesis of existing pre-conception guidelines for Australian populations - both general and specific to infertility,
- Facilitating collaborative research,
- Development of a national database of projects commensurate with the PCH-SIG mission.
We are delighted to be launching the Pre-Conception Health SIG and welcome new members.
