This is the event report for Dr Jennifer Shield's and Dr Sarah Brown's SHAAP/SARN ‘Alcohol Occasional’ Seminar, Tuesday 19th May 2020 webinar: Foetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD): everybody's business.

This presentation covered the cultural context of alcohol use in pregnancy in Scotland, the variety of effects that FASD can have for individuals and the implications of FASD in an everyday context, as well as the difficulties of making a diagnosis and the absence of adult pathways for this diagnosis. Dr Shields and Dr Brown both stressed the importance of raising awareness about FASD as a preventative measure.
