Dear Friends
and Colleagues
We would like to invite you to ISA 2007 - the
Third Annual Conference of the International Stillbirth Alliance,
to be held in Birmingham, UK.
This will be a very special meeting to focus on
perinatal loss - the human impact, the causes, and the possibilities
for prevention. It will be a rare opportunity to bring together
researchers, clinicians, health care professionals, bereaved families,
and support organisations from many different countries.
Many clinicians and scientists devote much of
their working lives to furthering the understanding of adverse
pregnancy outcome. And many bereaved parents, knowing the real
consequences of baby loss, are committed to improving the care
that others who have suffered a loss receive. Both groups have
much in common and together can represent a very powerful force
for change.
The conference will be run in two parallel streams:
scientific and bereavement,
and will include joint plenary sessions to discuss the key issues
of interest to all. Its main purpose is to gain insights and ideas
for future collaborative initiatives to reduce the burden of perinatal
death. The aims will be
- to present the human consequences of stillbirth
and other perinatal loss
- to share information on current activities
and research programs
- to strengthen collaboration on initiatives
to reduce perinatal death
- to share knowledge and experience of best
practice in care when a baby dies
- to encourage networking and informal exchange
