Our Aims

Our main aim is to provide better perinatal care in primary care through guidance and education

Our Aims are

  • To promote mutual support and education (both within our group and to other health care professionals), using the knowledge and experience of our members
  • To promote evidence-based care, unbiased by commercial interest
  • To view maternal and infant mental and physical health as interdependent
  • To reach out to other GPs who are interested in perinatal care
  • To raise the profile of GPs within maternity care by representing the interests of our group in national and international fora
  • To create change within General Practice and within other healthcare professions to recognise the central importance of GPs in maternity care, through action and collaboration
  • To grow future leaders within primary care
  • To promote the work of not-for-profit organisations which share our aims
  • To actively encourage multidisciplinary working between primary care professionals, secondary care and the voluntary and community sectors to put the interests of women and families at the centre of their care
