Don’t miss Episode 2 of Season 3 of the Women in Healthcare Leadership Podcast Series, airing on Wednesday, March 19th. "What do I do?"—A physician faces her own fear and uncertainty when treating a pregnant woman with an acute medical condition. Because clinical trials routinely exclude pregnant and lactating women, data on the safety and efficacy of medications during pregnancy is alarmingly scarce. So how should clinicians advise their pregnant patients living with chronic disease? Lacking studies to guide them, many physicians default to stopping, omitting, or never initiating treatment—believing it's the safest option. But is it really? Marie Teil, Global Head of the Women of Childbearing Age Program at UCB Biopharma, and Catherine Nelson-Piercy, Professor of Obstetric Medicine at Guy’s and St. Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust, explain why this approach can actually put both mother and baby at risk—and what needs to change. ??
