Registration closed - Session full.

The proportion of women over age 35 in prenatal, medical and obstetrical services has increased significantly over the past 30 years. This demographic change has important implications to service providers who work with women before and during pregnancy, and to the health care system. This workshop focuses on statistical trends, social context, health risks, health opportunities and service provider strategies. The information is applicable to a range of services including preconception and prenatal care, prenatal classes and drop-in programs for pregnant women.

This workshop is for service providers who work with women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, including public health nurses, nutritionists, mental health workers, genetic counsellors, occupational health nurses, doulas, prenatal educators, midwives, physicians and nurses.
