There is a lot of knowledge sharing out there! We will be updating this page to links of recordings of some of the lectures and webinars from other institutions that may be of interest to those interested in obstetric medicine and improving the care of women with medical problems.
Please note, these resources are from other groups not necessarily related to MOMS as an institution.
We will also be re-tweeting them on our feed on Twitter so do follow us @M0MSuk!
