We would like to invite you to a special meeting to celebrate
WMPI’s 5th Anniversary.
Since its inception in April 2000, the Perinatal Institute
has been striving to develop strategies to reduce the incidence of
adverse perinatal outcome. A special focus has been to recognise and
address inequalities in the service, in line with the NHS Plan and
the Health Inequalities Agenda: this will be the theme for the day.
In the morning, we will give an overview of how our work is seeking
to address inequalities; in the afternoon, invited speakers will add
their special insights from related projects.
