ARC Case Café (11 August 2021 – 7.30pm-8.30pm)
The pandemic has impacted virtually every aspect of our lives over the past 1.5 year, including antenatal care. During this month's Case Café, we will therefore be reflecting on the pandemic's impact on both expectant parents as well as healthcare professionals, as we know that it has been a time marked by great challenges and difficulty. During this session, ARC staff will share our experience of supporting parents through screening and diagnosis throughout the pandemic and we will discuss the main challenges faced by healthcare professionals. This session is an opportunity to reflect on the past 16 months and share your experiences of working through the pandemic and share any lessons learnt that we may benefit from taking forward in the future.
