NEONATAL UPDATE 2022: the science of newborn care

NEONATAL UPDATE 2022
the science of newborn care
28 November – 2 December 2022

As in-person meetings slowly become the norm again, it’s worthwhile noting the benefits and pleasure of personal interaction and knowledge-sharing. The 2022 meeting will actually be hybrid, allowing those who are unable to travel the option to attend virtually – the best of both worlds.

Would you be kind enough to share it with your network of paediatricians/neonatologists please?

I would also like to highlight the YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD which offers up to two young researchers the opportunity to present their findings at the meeting. Please recommend this feature to any colleagues who may be interested in applying.

As you may know the The Neonatal Update is renowned for its innovative programme, featuring contributions from a wide range of world-leading scientists and clinical researchers, some of whom have little direct involvement in newborn care. The aim of this meeting is to introduce delegates to areas of science not necessarily found in their day-to-day practice, to widen horizons and to foster new collaborations.

Professor Dominic Wilkinson, University of Oxford – Balancing the rights of mothers and babies before and after birth
