Substance Misuse During Pregnancy course for Dietitians
This session aims to raise awareness regarding the impact of substance misuse during pregnancy and its impact on the neonate and infant. You will be challenged to explore the complexities of promoting health when there is a dependency on behaviour that is injurious to health. The session will present knowledge regarding substance misuse and will challenge you by using a problem-solving interactive approach to manage pre-set scenarios.
