✨ Register now for Tonight's FREE MFM SEMINAR - FETAL HYDROPS @ TWILIGHT - available live via Zoom and post-event via recording!✨

We're delighted to have three outstanding speakers who will guide us through the practical aspects of managing fetal hydrops:

Dr Hannah Skrzypek, opening with ‘The Clinician's Toolbox: An Approach to Fetal Hydrops’

Then switching gears with:

A/Prof Ali Fung on ‘Hydrops: Diagnosis and Management of Fetal Anaemia’
And finally Dr Darren Hutchinson will present on the ‘Diagnosis and management of fetal supraventricular tachycardia’

Few diagnoses generate as many questions in the ultrasound room as fetal hydrops. Although uncommon, it remains one of the most challenging conditions we encounter in fetal medicine- requiring a thoughtful, systematic diagnostic approach and close collaboration across obstetrics, fetal medicine, paediatric subspecialties and neonatology.

Importantly, some causes are highly treatable, making timely recognition critical for both fetal and neonatal outcomes.

Mercy Perinatal was proud to stand alongside the Norman Beischer Medical Research Foundation in supporting the next chapter of CMV research.

Last week, clinicians, researchers and people with lived experience came together in Melbourne for a day of collaboration, planning and shared learning. Convened by Prof Lisa Hui, and Dr Hayley Smithers-Sheedy, the workshop brought together a diverse group of perspectives to shape clear priorities for the future, ensuring that the lived experiences of those affected by CMV in pregnancy sit alongside clinical and research expertise.

A heartfelt thank you to Prof Lisa Hui, Dr Hayley Smithers-Sheedy, NBMRF and all who contributed their time, knowledge and passion. Your collaboration is helping drive meaningful progress towards better outcomes for women, babies and families affected by CMV.

Next week, we welcome today’s (and tomorrow’s) experts in reproductive science to Chapter Place for the Australian Reproduction Update.

Our Day 2 line-up is a true Christmas in July gift, featuring talks focused on translational research and asking: how do we put this into action in the clinic?

We’ll also hear from experts in adjacent fields, covering crucial topics for women’s health, including those outside the reproductive cycle.

And not to be missed: our panel discussion with diverse industry leaders, exploring the many career pathways available for reproductive scientists.
