Creating healthy babies - An online proactive preconception preparation course; an innovative COVID safe approach to support fertility couples

I believe that every new life deserves the best start possible. Preconception Health Care (PCHC) involves optimising the health of the parents in every way to maximise the health of their future baby. This abstract describes the pros and cons of an online learning course to empower and educate prospective parents through this process, particularly during the restrictions imposed by COVID-19.

It is also a useful resource for busy health professionals to recommend for their clients to ensure the ‘basics’ are covered prior to targeted interventions in fertility challenges such as specific herbal support, acupuncture or referral for assisted reproduction support.
