Want to know more about baby screening and diagnostic testing?
What's the difference between screening & testing, and why is screening undertaken in the maternal setting?
What are the mother and baby offered in the first few hours after the birth?
What about the ethical implications and consent surrounding testing for children?
Do you want to do more testing with your clients but worry about how to ask a GP for tests and referrals, and not sure about the implications of asking?
Join Geraldine as she walks you through the testing and screening of the mother and newborn.
After discussion of the mother and newborn she'll provide some simple templates, tips and tricks to get the testing for your clients (of any age) from medicare providers, before asking your client to head out for self-funded testing and the implications of doing so.
