Multidisciplinary study days on pre-eclampsia and associated conditions
Action on Pre-eclampsia’s study days are widely recognised as being excellent, with 96% of midwives and healthcare professionals feeling more confident dealing with pre-eclampsia after attending. We have been arranging and running these events since our inception nearly thirty years ago.
We had 13 events in the UK booked in for 2020 but sadly due to the global pandemic we only managed 2. before lockdown. We are currently working on ways we can bring our study days to delegates virtually. We also have a free CPD accredited e-learning course available to all.
APEC’s study days are widely recognised as being excellent
APEC host a number of pre-eclampsia study days across the UK, with guest speakers who are leaders in the field of pre-eclampsia and associated conditions. Delegates who register for our study days on pre-eclampsia reveal that prior to the day, they are not confident in recognising symptoms, talking to women about pre-eclampsia and knowing at what point they should be referring women for expert assessment. However, feedback from 2018 and 2019 events show 96% of midwives and healthcare professionals had increased confidence and that they had learned new information they would share with work colleagues.
“Thank you so much for your help and support with the study days. It has made a huge difference to our unit. I have seen such a change in the management of pre-eclampsia since I have been back at work. The study days seem to have had a very positive impact on our practice which is fantastic!”
Julie Smith, DAU lead midwife (recently returned to work following maternity leave)
