Acquiring the knowledge necessary for the early recognition of situations that are potentially threatening to the pregnant woman and the fetus
To present concise updated data of the international literature on perinatal care based on guidelines mainly from Canada, the United Kingdom and the USA
To reflect the Greek reality and the required variations and adaptations of the corresponding international recommendations in our country
To highlight good practices in the provision of perinatal care, which are considered by professionals in the field to contribute to the improvement of the services provided
To identify weaknesses/gaps in the system, but possibly also inefficient everyday practices, as pointed out by the professionals in the field themselves
The students will present in small groups topics related to pregnancy and its problems, as well as how these affect the fetus and the newborn both immediately and in the future.
The presentation of the cases will enable the student to learn how to manage cases related to the perinatal period and how the collaboration between these two specialties can lead to an improvement in perinatal mortality and morbidity.
