ARC Online Training
We are currently offering a range of bite sized online training sessions for healthcare professionals:
Session 1: Delivering Unexpected News in Pregnancy (£25)
Having to deliver unexpected news to expectant parents about their pregnancy can be a daunting and emotional task. This 90-minute session is aimed at supporting healthcare professionals in how to sensitively deliver unexpected or difficult news and is informed by our many years of working with and supporting parents who have been through antenatal screening, testing and diagnosis. The session also provides a brief overview of Antenatal Results and Choices (ARC) and our work and functions as a bite-sized introduction to the material covered in Day 1 of our face-to-face training days.

ARC Case Café (13 October 2021 – 7.30pm-8.30pm)
Extensive technological developments means that expectant parents are now offered a variety of prenatal testing to check for more conditions than ever before, but our ability to give clear and absolute prognostic information has not kept pace. Most prenatal diagnoses entail a degree of uncertainty with clinicians unable to say exactly what the diagnosis might mean for an individual baby. During this month's case café, we will explore how professionals working in antenatal care can support parents dealing with high levels of uncertainty and discuss how health professionals can equip themselves best to deal with the challenges of communicating uncertain information.
