Our colleagues at NHS Scotland wanted to highlight the 3rd Scottish Postpartum Contraception Conference which is being held in Edinburgh in March. The conference agenda is set to be full of interesting content as well as topics which would be relevant to community pharmacists such as postpartum contraceptive options and dispelling postpartum contraceptive myths. The conference can be attended in person or online.
