2024 Australian/Aotearoa New Zealand Preeclampsia Research Network
Thursday 17 October 2024
Australian/Aotearoa New Zealand Preeclampsia Research Network
The Australian/Aotearoa New Zealand Preeclampsia Research Network invites members and interested clinicians, researchers and consumers to a half-day meeting on Thursday October 17th, just prior to the ISOM/SOMANZ International Joint Congress. The theme of this year’s program is “The aftermath of hypertensive pregnancy: how can we better manage and prevent it?” In keeping with APN’s focus on bringing together scientists and clinician-researchers, there will be both a scientific/lab-based research session and a clinical practice/implementation research session, featuring early-mid career researchers. Draft program is shown below. Both online and in-person registration is available for APN, although we encourage members to come in person and stay for the main ISOM/SOMANZ Congress if possible!
