About the Conference:
The SWAPS is the only conference in the South West of the UK that focuses solely on perinatal topics. Only in its 5th year, it has developed a reputation for quality and value for money and was attended by nearly 250 delegates in 2017 and 2018. The conference aims to bring together professionals from obstetrics, midwifery, paediatrics, neonatal and allied specialties to share best practices and recent advances in this rapidly progressing area of clinical care. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for continuing medical education to all professionals at an affordable cost.
The conference is hosted by the Department of Neonatology, ABMU Health Board and supported by Obstetric and Midwifery colleagues on the organising committee. The conference attracts eminent speakers from all over the UK and abroad.The Inaugural conference in 2015 was held at the historic Sketty Hall in the beautiful coastal City of Swansea.
