Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions world-wide, including among women of childbearing age. Obesity poses risks to both mothers and babies. In this presentation, we will review factors that contribute to obesity, risks and challenges encountered in care of the pregnant obese patient, and strategies to optimize maternal and neonatal outcomes. Dr Fox is Clinical Director in the Placenta Accreta Spectrum Care Team at the Baylor College of Medicine (Texas Children’s Hospital Pavilion for Women). Her particular clinical interests include caring for women with morbidly adherent placenta (placenta accreta, increta and percreta) and pregestational diabetes.
