CPD: Online module- Cytomegalovirus and syphilis in pregnancy

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is 30 times more common than Toxoplasmosis and Listeria.

In Australia, more than 400 babies every year are born with a life-long disability caused by CMV, including deafness, epilepsy, intellectual impairment, cerebral palsy and, in rare, cases death. This makes CMV the most common infectious cause of disabilities in newborn babies.(Cerebral Palsy Alliance)

An online CPD module is available through Praxhub, providing 1.5CPD self-record points, to provide further information to GPs about CMV. An account with Praxhub is required to access the activity, accessible here.
