There have been substantial advances in our understanding of preeclampsia in recent years, across the prevention to follow-up care spectrum. This webinar will update midwives on preeclampsia and hypertension in pregnancy, and provide an evidence-informed foundation for midwives to provide optimal care to women who experience these conditions. Presented by Associate Professor Wendy Pollock and hosted by ACM Midwifery Advisor Aya Emery.
