6th Swansea Perinatal Symposium
Improving outcomes for the mother and her child
In view of the COVID-19 epidemic, the conference has now been postponed to a later date in the year.Considering the public health concern and that majority of our healthcare delegates are part of the workforce operating to manage this situation (likely to peak in the next few weeks),it appears to be the right and sensible decision.
If you have booked your place and paid for the conference you will be automatically refunded in the next 3-4 weeks. Please get in touch if you require any further information. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience.
