On Thursday 4^th July, we were honoured to be joined by colleagues, past and present, who attended an afternoon of celebration and reflection on the enduring 60-year collaboration between 白小姐论坛 Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering, 白小姐论坛 Institute for Women鈥檚 Health and the 白小姐论坛H Neonatal Unit.

We commemorated the journey (thus far!), including key milestones and fruitful relationships as well as exploring the next generation in neonatal care which included a poster exhibition and networking social.

On the day we heard from a range of speakers who really brought the research and collaboration to life:
