Health professionals want to give clear answers to expectant parents about the outlook for their baby. This isn’t always possible after prenatal diagnosis, as there is often a range of possible outcomes. ARC training can help equip staff to provide sensitive care to parents.

We know how hard it is for healthcare professionals to give the news that no expectant parent is ever prepared for. And we know how important it is for these professionals to receive the right training in order to provide individualised care.
