The advice, which are provided free of charge, include posters and a pre-release version of a booklet, which explains how to identify possible cases of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD).
Sandra Butcher, Chief Executive, NOFAS-UK, said that the materials have been aimed at GPs because they have heard from many who believe they did not receive adequate education on this issue.
It is understood midwives can also use the posters to promote awareness of drinking alcohol in pregnancy.
Recently, a NOFAS-UK/OnePoll survey polled 150 GPs in England. The results revealed that just 31% had in-depth education regarding FASD, while 41% had not received clear guidance regarding a pathway for diagnosis and support of FASD. Only 23% strongly agreed that they feel confident that all those with FASD are being diagnosed properly.
The new materials will be available on the NOFAS-UK website here from this week.
