Conversations in Fetal Medicine

Conversations in Fetal Medicine aims to replicate those coffee room conversations with mentors or trainers. It hopefully sits alongside all the fabulous educational materials out there, as sometimes what you want is not simply more facts, rather you need motivation and inspiration for when times are more challenging. It is aimed primarily at trainees in Fetal Medicine, but will hopefully be of interest to anyone working in the field. Some episodes may be more focussed on someone's career, others may be more centred around particular topics.
