No differences were noted between groups (medical, nursing\/midwifery, allied health\/other); therefore, findings were reported as a single group.

For postpartum follow\u2010up, 39% felt clear guidelines were available to support practice, 37% felt appropriate systems were in place and 29% reported effective communication between primary and secondary care services. Qualitative findings emphasised a desire for improved communication between systems, participants and providers, clear interdisciplinary guidelines, and adequate resourcing for gestational diabetes management and postpartum diabetes prevention, including comprehensive support and follow\u2010up.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>System\u2010level challenges and ineffective communication across settings are barriers to optimum postpartum care.
