Welcome to the official website for the

Medical complications in pregnancy course 2025

A comprehensive 3-day course on Medical Disorders of Pregnancy, organised by Professors Catherine Nelson-Piercy, David Williams and Catherine Williamson. This well-established successful course has been running for over 28 years.

The in-person event will take place from Wednesday 12th – Friday 14th February 2025

at Windsor Walk Lecture Theatre, Fetal Medicine Research Institute, King’s College Hospital, London, UK, and will be broadcasted to our event platform for our virtual audience.

Why attend?

The medical complications in pregnancy course provides a comprehensive update on the management and latest clinical research of common and rare medical disorders in pregnancy. Delivered by leading national and international clinicians and researchers, expect a comprehensive update on all aspects of Obstetric Medicine.

The course is always fully booked by a diverse audience of senior trainees and established specialists from obstetric medicine, obstetrics, anaesthetics, intensive care, general practise, medical specialties, and maternal medicine midwives. The diversity of delegates generates a lively, engaged, and interactive audience.

The programme allows plenty of time for questions and comments. Delegates have the opportunity to meet and discuss controversies in obstetric medicine with the speakers and like-minded colleagues during well-catered refreshment breaks.

We can accommodate up to 200 in-person and 500 virtual delegates at the event.

The course receives 16 CPD accreditation points from the RCP, and this is expected for the 2025 course.

The course is recognised for the theoretical component of the Obstetric Medicine ATSM of RCOG, and appropriate for those physicians pursuing the Diploma in Obstetric Medicine.
