Joining Professor Sir Simon Wessely on our COVID-19 Series this week is Vice President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Mr Pat O’Brien, and Consultant Obstetrician, Dr Maggie Blott.
What risks does COVID-19 pose to mother and baby, should partners be allowed in the labour ward, and is breastfeeding safe? Is the reduction in cervical smear tests an indicator of the ‘collateral damage’ our response to COVID-19 is having, and if so, what else within women’s obstetric and gynaecological health is being adversely affected?
Our speakers will be exploring these questions and many more from the live audience.
