Case

Interactive Course on Safe Use of Medicines During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Elevate created an interactive didactical framework and brought together a wide array of leading experts in the field of pharmaceuticals in the pregnancy and breastfeeding phase.

ConcePTION aims to create a reliable ecosystem for generating and sharing evidence-based information on medication use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

ConcePTION, an EU-funded consortium, has identified a lack of knowledge on safe medication use during pregnancy and breastfeeding among women and healthcare professionals. To achieve the goal of building a safe medicine ecosystem for this population, it’s essential to engage with stakeholders like healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and regulatory authorities. A comprehensive educational curriculum is a crucial step towards achieving this aim.

Our contribution

Elevate created an interactive didactical framework and brought together a wide array of leading experts in the field of pharmaceuticals in the pregnancy and breastfeeding phase. World leading experts put their knowledge into creating this comprehensive curriculum. An online interactive 11-chapter self-study course was created in which the learner will be engaged through a purposefully built interactive framework with adaptive scenarios. When successfully completing the course a certificate will be issued.

The chapters

✓ Historical Context

✓ Knowledge on basic embryology (advanced, optional chapter)

✓ Principles of teratology

✓ Considerations for teratogenic exposure during pregnancy

✓ Principles of therapeutics in pregnancy (background)

✓ Principles of therapeutics in pregnancy (practice)

✓ Medications and breastfeeding

✓ Information sources

✓ Risk communication

✓ Reporting information

✓ Course summary

The curriculum is created without interference from pharmaceutical companies in- or outside the consortium.

For the future

The project is currently in an extensive pilot phase, during which feedback is being collected to improve the course. Once all feedback is gathered and analyzed, the first version of the course will be published online, available to the general public 24/7.
