As the role of Nurse Practitioners continues to expand in medical aesthetics, awareness of the Top 10 Clinical Risks is essential to ensure safe, ethical, and effective patient care. Understanding potential complications—from vascular occlusions to allergic reactions—empowers NPs to anticipate, prevent, and manage adverse events. Proficiency in emergency protocols and mock code readiness not only protects patients but also enhances professional credibility and practice standards in a rapidly evolving field.

Join us tomorrow, Nov 19, 2025 for Non-Invasive Fetal Blood Group Genotyping, Moving Towards Precision Care for Pregnant Individuals in Ontario with Special Guest Speaker Vicky Ward

Starting in fall 2025, Prenatal Screening Ontario (PSO) will implement two new publicly funded, non-invasive prenatal tests: Fetal RhD Screening and Alloimmunized Fetal Blood Group Genotyping (Allo-FBGG). These cell-free DNA-based assays enable early, accurate fetal antigen determination in RhD-negative and alloimmunized pregnancies. This allows for more precise RhIG administration and targeted monitoring for hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN), reducing unnecessary interventions and referrals. Tests can be ordered directly by primary care providers, supporting more efficient, patient-centered prenatal care across Ontario. Objectives:
Explain the clinical significance of the new non-invasive fetal blood group genotyping tests and how implementation will enhance and influence current practice.
Describe when to order fetal blood group genotyping and understand how precision medicine can help guide more targeted and equitable access to pregnancy care.
Identify reliable sources for additional information, guidance, and clinical resources related to the new non-invasive fetal blood group genotyping tests.
