Annual Obstetric Malpractice Conference 2013

Obstetric negligence continues to account for the highest proportion of medical negligence claims. It is also an area in which technology and procedures are continually evolving, making it important that both legal and medical practitioners remain up-to-date on emerging issues. We present a unique forum for discussion between the legal, medical indemnity, obstetric and midwifery communities – to benchmark their practice, and explore new ideas with the thought leaders in the field.
