Dear Colleague,
Next year we will welcome you to Glasgow and the Scottish
Exhibition and Conference Centre for our annual BMFMS
Conference. This award winning venue is located on the banks of
the River Clyde and close to the heart of the city centre.
We have some excellent keynote lectures this year that span
topics as diverse as ‘Open fetal surgery: is there still a
role?’, ‘Predicting pre-eclampsia’, ‘The management of the
morbidity adherent placenta’, ‘The role of magnesium sulphate in
perinatal neuroprotection’ and the ‘Birthplace in England Study’.
We also have some very interesting ‘lunchtime sessions’
including discussion of Global Obstetric networking and a
discussion on assessment for ATSM’s.
Plenary topics have also been specifically chosen to reflect
controversial issues of relevance to both professional groups.
Year on year the quality of the oral and poster presentations
has improved and we will ensure more time is given for poster
viewing this year as well as general networking with colleagues.
In addition to the usual Society Awards for best oral and poster
presentations in each of the themes, there will also be a prize
awarded to the ‘New Investigator of the Year’ for the best oral
presentation by a clinical trainee or postdoctoral fellow.
We look forward to seeing you in Glasgow.
Professor Mark
Kilby
President, British Maternal and Fetal Medicine Society
