Organized by the European Association of Perinatal Medicine (EAPM),
25th European Congress of Perinatal Medicine will be held in Maastricht, the
Netherlands on 15-18 June 2016.
The
ECPM is a biannual meeting where about 1500-2000 specialists in the field of
perinatal medicine meet. With specialists we not only mean midwives, obstetricians and neonatologists but also those professionals
who work in the very important adjacent fields such as child pathology, pediatric surgery, genetics, prenatal diagnosis and IVF.
Also epidemiologists and health care workers will find this conference interesting.
The
conference consists of a great offer of keynote
lectures by speakers with international esteem during
plenary and parallel sessions with enough time allotted for discussions.
Participants are also invited to present their data in oral or poster
presentations, based on the content of their abstracts. On the
day before the congress many pre-congress courses with
high educational value are organized.
During
this conference, the attendees will be updated on
all important issues in the whole spectrum of the perinatal field, e.g. preconceptional counselling, genetics and prenatal diagnosis, high-risk
pregnancies and deliveries, neonatal delivery management, problems of preterm
and term infants, ethical issues and follow-up.
Issues
of special interest in The Netherlands will be ‘fetal alcohol syndrome’, ‘midwifery’, ‘home deliveries’ and
discussion on the comparative perinatal data from
the countries of the European Union.
Last
but not least, Maastricht is one of the most popular touristic cities of the
Netherlands. Maastricht is located in
the east-southern part, the ‘tail’, of The Netherlands in the middle of an important Euregion. It is the city
where the treaty of Maastricht was signed in 1992, the start of the European
Union.
By registration prior to 31 March 2016, applicants can benefit
from fee discount.
PHISICIAN FEE includes 12 months subscription to "The Journal
of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine".
