Baby it’s Cold Outside! Late June 2022
More Winter 2022….
Hello! Well, here we are at the end of June 2022 and boy, hasn’t it been a little chilly lately!
Luckily, to distract you from the recent cold and wet weather in SA amidst ongoing Covid challenges, we have another gripping newsletter for you! We can just imagine how warming it would be with a bowl of hot soup, cosy jacket, maybe a beanie and settling down to read our GP Obstetric Shared Care newsletter, just for you.
We have some great CPD activities coming up, including an event at the Adelaide Pavilion on the 27th July, a further Accreditation Seminar on the 13th August, a Clinical Refresher on the 22nd September and we are heading to Port Lincoln in October.
Welcome to up to 6 Thursday where we promise to bring you no more than six pieces of highly valuable interesting information, just for you. Please enjoy!
As always, our newsletters aim to keep you informed on the latest news, changes, updates, special announcements and talk all things obstetric!
From my team, our Board of Directors and myself, stay warm and healthy!

POPPIE Study Patient Consent to Contact Form
GPs are working together with the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) to inform women about the PoppiE Trial.
The PoppiE trial is designed to determine the optimal level of iodine supplementation for pregnant women who already have an adequate iodine intake from the food that they eat.
To further assist those of our GPs who are providing amazing support to this study we have designed a consent form for you to give to your patients.
They will be invited to provide their contact details and give consent for a staff member from SAHMRI Women and Kids to contact them to discuss this research study further.
