Workshop on Obstetrics

Aimed specifically at medical translators, this workshop will explore the complex area of obstetrics.

You will participate in two lectures delivered by Prof. Philip Steer, Emeritus Professor of Obstetrics, Imperial College London and Editor Emeritus of the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, who will cover aspects of pregnancy and its complications for both mother and baby, in two wide-ranging lectures. This will be followed by a practical translation session, during which you will have the opportunity to practise your translation skills with your colleagues on the papers provided beforehand.
