Are you a GP working in antenatal care in Australia?
Do you routinely screen your pregnant patients for cytomegalovirus in early pregnancy?

Tell us what you think about this emerging practice and help inform future guidelines in antenatal care.

Here’s a sparkle for the 1st of May !!

We shared with you at Twilight last week our exciting new initiative: the Global Research Obstetric Update (GROU).

GROU will be held immediately before GOU on Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th November at Park Hyatt. Coming for GOU? Stay for the week! Can’t make it to GOU? Grab yourself a GROU ticket and hear what’s hot from all the incredible GOU speakers, plus your Perinatal Heroes from around Australia.

At GROU we're bringing together the best perinatal researchers from across the globe to share today’s research that will inform tomorrow’s care. GROU is a must for the curious clinician who wants to peek around the corner- and see how we’ll be delivering maternity care over the next 5 years…(and for anyone who can’t resist a whole week with Mercy Perinatal at the luxurious Park Hyatt.) Which is- obviously!- everyone.

Note that GROU will be an intimate gathering in a smaller room to accommodate lively discussion and questions with the experts. But it means tickets are strictly limited.

Check out our program and snap your ticket up today via this link https://t.co/YDcvSCU5d8

NIPT is a common choice for prenatal screening, but not all NIPT are the same! A quick primer here for those that want a refresher on prenatal screening in 2025 @MCRI_for_kids @MercyPerinatal #nipt @ranzcog @UniMelbMDHS @RACGP @HGSAAustralasia

[Australian Prescriber @AustPrescriber]

Noninvasive prenatal testing (#NIPT) is one of 3 options to screen for fetal chromosome conditions such as Down syndrome. NIPT has a high level of accuracy. Genetic counselling and confirmatory invasive testing are recommended for patients with a high-probability result. Learn more about NIPT: https://t.co/ueRlVqwkqH
