The Commission co-designed the resources with consumers and medical professionals to ensure they are evidence-based and relevant to the needs and preferences of patients.
The new resources include:
- a fact sheet for consumers on different types of pregnancy ultrasounds
- a poster for display in practices (with QR code link to fact sheet).
How to use the resources
Health professionals may find these resources useful during consultations where patients are considering screening, diagnostic testing, or other aspects of pregnancy care.
The fact sheet can complement clinical discussions and can be used as a take-home reference or as part of routine patient education.
Health professionals involved in pregnancy care are encouraged to review and download the new resources and incorporate them into their practice.
