NEONATAL UPDATE 2022 – the science of newborn care

The Neonatal Update is renowned for its innovative programme which includes contributions from a wide range of world-leading scientists and clinical researchers, many of whom have little direct involvement in newborn care. The aim is to introduce delegates to areas of science not necessarily met in their day-to-day activities, to widen horizons and to foster new collaborations.
We are really pleased to be back in person this year at BMA House, London – but with th option also to join the meeting virtually for those who cannot travel.
