Meetings and Events

As many will know, this international meeting has been running in London for around 40 years. But 2020 is different in so many ways. We have moved to an innovative new virtual platform that will provide 20 pre-recorded lectures from 2 November 2020, from eminent speakers who are leaders in their field. This will be followed, from 16 November, by a schedule of hour-long live sessions with each of the speakers that will include a 20-minute lecture resumé – 20  minutes taking pre-submitted questions, and 20 minutes live discussion.

Learn more about BAPM's Antenatal Optimisation Toolkit - a practical resource for units and networks who wish to improve compliance with key evidence-based AO interventions to improve preterm outcomes. Learn more about the evidence basis for the recommendations and hear from units that have successfully made improvements. Tony Kelly from MatNeoSIP will be explaining how they'll be supporting units using the toolkit and Elly Salisbury will be talking about why antenatal optimisation measures were so important to her family.

This webinar will highlight the impact of opioid exposure to mothers and babies. From pre-pregnancy to birth, experts will cover all aspects of how to manage, support and safeguard these patients.

The autumn meeting - which includes free science presentations, two guest lectures, and the AGM of members - is open to members of the society and non-members who work in clinical and non-clinical disciplines related to perinatal medicine.

This virtual workshop, which is intended for those wishing to become EPIQ facilitators, will cover the EPIQ workshop content; as well as additional material focused on developing your knowledge and skills as a co-facilitator.

With the theme "Everyday Practical Challenges in Neonatology", the Congress is organised in collaboration with reknown experts, the Italian Society of Neonatology (SIN) and Europeans Against Infant Brain Injury (EURABI).

COGI is a 'concept congress' dealing mainly with controversial issues in the broad field of Women's Health, in the format of debates and discussions, and allowing ample time for speaker-participant interaction. The congress gives key-opinion leaders from around the world the opportunity to effectively debate clinical and therapeutic dilemmas and other key issues facing clinicians in their daily practice.

The RECAP preterm platform promotes collaborative research by pooling data from very preterm cohorts and provides exciting opportunities to generate new knowledge about the consequences of preterm birth.

EiSMART is hosting a virtual Masterclass and Workshop for therapists, parents and clinicians seeking to maximise the potential of babies with neurodevelopmental concerns. The expert-led Masterclass will introduce the case for, and principals behind, the five-fold EiSMART approach. The Workshop will be an opportunity to share and discuss the practical application of the EiSMART approach.

This ESPGHAN online conference will compromise a faculty consisting of scientific and clinical experts in the prevention, diagnosis, prediction, and management of Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC) as well as parents to talk about their experiences. The faculty will be internationally recognised experts in their fields. The presentations will consist of state-of-the-art lectures, covering the basic science of underlying mechanisms, along with clinical aspects of prevention and management.

This very successful multi-professional study day will aim at exploring a range of topics related to the nutritional needs of premature and sick babies. Following talks from expert speakers, participants will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge to a range of case studies in small multi-professional groups.

This will be the seventh edition of a theoretica-practical course, which is open to paediatricians, paediatric radiologists, neonatologists and sonographers who would like to learn more about neonatal brain ultrasonography.

The twelfth edition of this international course is open to paediatricians, paediatric radiologists, neonatologists, sonographers who would like to learn more about neonatal ultrasonography.

The aim of this two-day course is to improve neonatal neurological education and therefore improve the diagnosis and management of neonates with neurological disorders. In the meantime, the BPNA also has distance learning modules for you to enrol on.

The 11th DIP Symposium aims to highlight the progress of pregnancy – from pre-pregnancy, trimester by trimester, to labor, delivery and post-partum care. Focus will be placed on the prediction and prevention of pregnancy complications – hyperglycemia, hypertension – preeclampsia, preterm birth, NCD’s (Non-Communicable Diseases) and pregnancy, fetal growth and others, as well as the cycle of future NCD’s that begins during the intrauterine life – onto mother and offspring.
