Dear Colleague

Perinatal 2008 in Harrogate was a huge success; formal (and informal) feedback indicated that everyone enjoyed the conference, welcomed the opportunity of meeting with colleagues in neonatal medicine and liked the venue. There was uniform support to repeat the event in the future.

This year we hope to welcome you to Liverpool. As well as our four themed sessions (Fetal Medicine, Maternal Medicine, Labour and Delivery and Pregnancy Outcome) we will be having ‘Meet the Experts’ sessions and a lively debate. I am very pleased that Professor Dennis Lo (Hong Kong) has agreed to give the Society Lecture on the subject of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis.

We hope to welcome a lot more midwives to this year’s conference. Professor Tina Lavender and Professor Jane Sandall have kindly joined the Organising Committee and will help judge abstract submissions. We encourage all midwives undertaking audit and research projects to consider submitting an abstract for consideration. 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. In addition to the usual Society Awards for best oral and poster presentations in each of the themes we will also have prizes for the best oral and poster presented by a midwife and the ‘Young Investigator of the Year’.

We look forward to seeing you in the 2008 European Capital of Culture.




Professor Stephen Robson
President, BMFMS
