European Perinatal
Epidemiology Network
Meeting
in Oxford, Saturday 15 September
2001
The second meeting of the European Perinatal Epidemiology
Network will be held in the Oxford University Examination
Schools and will be a satellite meeting of the joint Conference of
the International Epidemiological Association and the Society for
Social Medicine, which is taking place in Oxford from 12-15
September.
As with our first meeting in Bordeaux in September 1998, this
meeting is for researchers and clinicians working in Europe in
perinatal epidemiology and the evaluation of maternity and
neonatal care. The aim is to discuss what has been achieved in
recent collaborative projects and identify questions for future
research at a European level. The meeting will open with a
plenary on the subject of women's health, held jointly with a
parallel satellite meeting on ‘Women's health in midlife’. There
will then be a series of sessions focussing on recent
collaborations, including those focussing on severe maternal
morbidity, perinatal mortality, perinatal transport and cerebral
palsy. It will also include a business session to discuss the
development of the network. A detailed programme can be
found on the NPEU web site. The meeting will finish with closing
drinks at 5.15pm, kindly provided by the National Perinatal
Epidemiology Unit.
People registered for the network meeting are free to attend any
of the parallel sessions of the satellite meeting on ‘Women's
health in midlife’.
If you are intending to attend the whole conference, details of
which are on the Institute of Health Sciences' web site,
http://www.ihs.ox.ac.uk/conference/index.htm. You can book
for our meeting as well on the same form. If, on the other hand,
you are just coming for our meeting, please register using a
special form, which can be found on the National Perinatal
Epidemiology Unit web site,

As some people are coming only for the satellite meeting they
may want to stay over the Saturday night in order to benefit from
cheaper plane fares and have a chance to look around Oxford
the next day, we have organised a social event on the Saturday
evening. This will take place in a riverside pub, the Isis Tavern
at Iffley and will include a buffet meal costing about £10, live
music and a chance to play the traditional Oxfordshire pub game
of Skittles. We will be asking people to pay on the day, but
would like to know numbers in advance, so if you plan to go to
this, please contact Lyn Pilcher at the National Perinatal
Epidemiology Unit, email [log in to unmask] as soon
as possible.
We hope to see you in Oxford and ask you to pass on details of
the meeting to anyone else who may be interested in joining us.
