This interview will discuss the importance of preconception care (PCC) for all potential parents and explore the role of general practitioners in providing PCC. The interview will cover how PCC benefits parents, their children, and future generations by addressing health and well-being before a first pregnancy and during the interconception period. Additionally, it will examine the challenges of delivering PCC, such as the low community awareness surrounding it, and the low number of patients seeking out PCC appointments. The discussion will also cover the importance of discussing pregnancy intentions and reviewing previous pregnancy outcomes to improve preconception health and reduce preconception risk factors.
