A seminar looking at the conditions in pregnancy which acupuncturists need to be aware of. There are many conditions in pregnancy which acupuncture can help, but some conditions can be dangerous for mother and baby, and it is important to be aware of these. The seminar is aimed at practitioners who are interested in, or already involved with, treating women in pregnancy. It assumes existing knowledge of the treatment with acupuncture of common complaints of pregnancy such as sickness and backache, taught at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
Learning Objectives:
- Delegates will learn how to identify the main obstetric complications which could present in their acupuncture clinic.
- To recognize the importance of referring on to, or back to midwifery or medical staff.
- To understand the TCM aspects of some of these "red flag conditions".
- To look at TCM acupuncture treatment of these conditions that may be used if appropriate.
- It is hoped that delegates will feel more confident about treating pregnant women and more comfortable about going in to birthing units after the seminar.
