The SPaM workshops provide a friendly forum for people with expertise across different fields, who are learning to speak the same multidisciplinary language and keep
pushing forward the research in intrapartum monitoring.
Anyone with interest in intrapartum fetal monitoring and/or passion for healthy labour outcomes is welcome, including medical doctors, midwives or other health care professionals, mathematicians, engineers, PhD Students, members of the public or industry representatives.
We are preparing an exciting programme of talks, discussions and social events for Summer 2022. Please let us know if interested to give a talk and the topic, everyone gets a voice!
