Seminar: Miscarriage Australia - the need for improved psychosocial support following miscarriage

05/20/2020 12:00 pm 05/20/2020 01:00 pm Australia/Melbourne Seminar: Miscarriage Australia - the need for improved psychosocial support following miscarriage

Dr Jade Bilardi from Monash University’s Central Clinical School will be offering research insights in her seminar ‘Miscarriage Australia: The need for improved psychosocial support following miscarriage’.

Up to 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Although many healthcare professionals consider it a routine, easily managed pregnancy complication, miscarriage often has significant psychological impacts on both women and their partners. Our research has examined the psychosocial effects of miscarriage from the perspective of mothers, fathers and health care practitioners, as well as their experiences of clinical and social care connected to this loss, what those affected need around improved miscarriage support and what support is currently available.

Dr Jade Bilardi is an ARC DECRA Senior Research Fellow in the Central Clinical School at Monash University and an honorary Research Fellow in the Department of General Practice at the University of Melbourne. She is a social researcher who specialises in women's sexual and reproductive health, primarily focusing on improved miscarriage support for women, partners and families.

We'll be asking all to mute their microphones during the presentation, but to switch video settings on where possible, so that our presenter can see their audience. Questions and discussion will be invited from the audience at several points during the presentation.

CHE seminar series

At the Centre for Health Economics, we are working on running as many of our seminars as possible online while COVID-19 remains an obstacle to getting together. As we will be working with experts and colleagues in other parts of the world there will be some movement in the times and days that seminars run to take into account different time zones and availabilities. If you would like to be on our seminar email list, please be directly in contact by email to shannon.stanwell@monash.edu.

Hope to see you there!
