Seminars and events

At the Nuffield Department of Women's & Reproductive Health (NDWRH) and the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit (NPEU)

Alongside a wider programme of seminars, courses and events delivered throughout the year, we run regular Departmental Seminars during term time on Tuesdays in the Anne Anderson Lecture Theatre. These sessions provide an opportunity to hear from both internal and external speakers on topics aligned with our research themes, and offer updates on research, methods and skills.

Our broader events programme takes place across a range of times and locations. While some sessions are designed specifically for internal colleagues, most are open to external attendees, including members of the public and healthcare professionals. Together, these activities support learning, collaboration and networking across NDWRH, NPEU and the wider community.
