The conference will be taking place face-to-face this Spring from 24th – 25th April 2024.
This conference is valuable to all doctors and medical professionals caring for children in the community setting.

Conference proceeds
Proceeds from all of our conferences support our research into problems with fertility, pregnancy and birth. Our scientists at the Institute of Reproductive and Developmental Biology at Imperial College London continue to lead the world in this field of research. Many major findings at the site have contributed to the understanding of fertility and fetal development. This has improved in utero and newborn babies’ health.
