More women need to be made aware of the benefits of booking early for pregnancy. This includes accurate dating of the pregnancy, early identification of any health problems in the mother, early health promotion info for the mother (e.g. vitamin supplements, smoking cessation, drug and alcohol advice), and access to antenatal screening tests in a timely manner.
Aim: To reduce the average number of days between women’s first point of contact appointment and their booking appointment by 10% in the Coatbridge locality by August 2015.
