OBSTETRIC CHOLESTASIS SUPPORT AND INFORMATION LINE

The aim of the Obstetric Cholestasis (OC) Help and Information Line is to provide support to mothers who have the condition and information to those who think they may have had the condition but need to be diagnosed. Help is provided in the following ways.

• Information includes guidance on the appropriate tests for the diagnosis and a suggested care plan for those mothers who are pregnant.
• Research papers are available for parents particularly if they are experiencing difficulty in obtaining the right care. This usually happens when professionals are either completely unaware of OC or don't accept that it can be a problem for the foetus.
• These papers are also sent to any interested professionals (usually midwives) and a protocol for diagnosis, treatment and management of the condition is usually included.
• The line operates part-time but answerphone messages are responded to promptly.
