MATERNITY AND THE NEWBORN

A FORUM OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF MEDICINE

A forum for the presentation and discussion of issues at the forefront of pregnancy, birth, and care of the newborn.

Meetings five times in an annual session, usually starting at 6.00 p.m. weekdays, and including a whole-day meeting annually. Open to members without charge and to paying guests. A high priority is given to discussion - one hour of the total two and a half hours.

Meetings are followed at 8.30 p.m. by an optional buffet.

Members and guests typically include midwives, GPs, obstetricians, physiotherapists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, health visitors, paediatricians, neonatal nurses, members of organisations such as the NCT and AIMS, and lay people - and others.
