Placental pathology is a unique area of perinatal pathology whose understanding requires knowledge of normal development, physiology and histopathology as well as foetal and maternal medicine. Request of placental examination has grown exponentially in the recent years, and this has not been paired with histopathologist trained in reporting them.
This course will provide an up-date on placental physiology, current classification, and new insights into the knowledge of placental conditions.
The course “Up-date on placenta: physiology and new concepts” is designed to paediatric/perinatal and general histopathology trainees as well as consultants. The course will also be of benefit to obstetricians, both consultants and in training.
