Healthier pregnancies, better lives
QNIS launched the Healthier Pregnancies, Better Lives (HPBL) programme in 2021 with support from Cattanach and The National Lottery Community Fund. Together with healthcare colleagues and those with lived experience in reproductive health, HPBL’s mission was to advance preconception health, education and care throughout Scotland. After two years of funding, the HPBL programme moved to a holding space with a partner, Cattanach, so that coalition members could decide on the next steps for the programme.
One of the programme's achievements was the publication of a report by HPBL Consultant Dr Moira Plant: Women, Alcohol, Pregnancy and FASD.
