Gold Coast Health in partnership with Gold Coast Primary Health Network will be delivering an “Alignment 2” workshop for GPs who have previously participated in the Gold Coast GP Maternity Alignment Program.

This program will further enhance the skills and knowledge of already aligned local GPs providing antenatal care to women within the primary care setting.

Topics include:

Perinatal mental health
Prescribing in pregnancy and lactation
GP’s role in preventing placental dysfunction and preterm birth

Resources for GPs undertaking pregnancy care:

Please contact the GCGPMAP team with any queries via email on GPMaternity@health.qld.gov.au

Alignment 2 is only available to GPs who have already completed Alignment 1 and will aim to cover perinatal mental health, prescribing in pregnancy and 1st trimester care including miscarriage.

The Gold Coast Health GP Maternity Alignment Program (GCGPMAP) aims to create an antenatal shared care framework between Gold Coast Health and GPs with:

Accessible, contemporary, regularly updated guidelines.
Clear and known responsibilities between maternity care providers.
Shared goals and measurable outcomes for the benefit of improved maternity care for women birthing at GCUH.
Women having their obstetric care closer to home in a community setting.
Support for GPs to work to their scope in providing care in a standardised manner with access to necessary tertiary expertise when required.
Opportunities for relationship building between GPs, Obstetricians and Midwifes through sharing of resources and collaborating on the care of women.

A package of digital resources will be available including dedicated Antenatal Health Pathways that will outline our updated shared care guidelines, how to manage abnormal findings or results, and contact and referral information.

GPs successfully completing the Program and who provide consent, can have their names added to a public facing webpage acknowledging GPs who have completed the GP Maternity Alignment Program on the Gold Coast.

Requirements

Step 1. Complete an online questionnaire that will familiarise you with our Gold Coast Maternity Share Care Guidelines and Antenatal Health Pathways. The link will be emailed once you have registered.

Step 2. Complete a half day GP Alignment workshop (interactive, small group case-based learning).
