About this teaching package

This online learning module was created by the NHS National Screening Committee Group B Streptococcus Working Party in collaboration with the National Library for Health, Women's Health Specialist Library. The concept for a professional education package was identified as part of a GBS workshop to determine the NSC's policy on screening for GBS.

Full details of the presentations at this workshop and the background to NSC Policy Position established in May 2005 may be found here.
