Title of paper: lnterconception care in Australian general practice: a qualitative study

Interconception care (ICC) provides an opportunity to address risk factors contributing to poor pregnancy outcomes. However, GP perceptions on providing ICC are not well established. ICC is not a familiar concept for GPs, it is delivered opportunistically and there is lack of clarity as to what ICC should consist of. GPs also feel there is lack of engagement and perceived value by women.
