60 Years of Collaboration
60 years of Collaboration in Neonatology: UCL Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering, UCL EGA Institute for Women's Health and UCLH Neonatal Unit
60 Years of Collaboration
04 Jul 2024, 14:00 – 18:00
Join us for an afternoon of celebration, where we will reflect on the past, present and future of our enduring 60-year collaboration between UCL Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, UCL Institute for Women’s Health and the UCLH Neonatal Unit.
We will engage in substantive discussions commemorating the journey, acknowledging milestones, and exploring future endeavours in advancing neonatal care, followed by an evening reception and poster exhibition.
Please note that this event will be recorded.
