Early life is a critical time of risk, but also an opportunity for primary health professionals to act and thereby prevent future disease. This ‘window of opportunity’ begins in preconception, continues into pregnancy up to the first 1,000 days of post-natal life.

The aim of this seminar is to provide GPs and other health professionals with evidence-based strategies and practically useful information about what they can do in their practice to make the most of this important, new and emerging health paradigm.
