Date: 15th October 2009, 9am – 5pm.
Venue: The Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London. SW1Y 5AG

Target: Doctors, nurses and radiographers working in an early pregnancy unit.

The focus for the organisation in 2009/10 has been education and our professional study events help to achieve this goal. This was the second workshop based symposium, tailored to the needs of nurses, doctors and radiographers all working in the field of early pregnancy medicine.

The workshop and discussion based sessions gave participants the opportunity to explore current best practice and widen the opportunity to develop own practice.

Places were limited and application for places and reservation was by post only. Despite this the event was outsold a second time.

The programme will included workshops on: -

Ultrasound and diagnosis of tubal ectopic pregnancy
Ultrasound and the diagnosis of non-tubal ectopic pregnancy
Managing pregnancies of unknown location (PUL)
Treatment of Ectopic Pregnancy
Embryonic growth, the diagnosis and management of miscarriage
