Reshaping and Delivering Maternity Services Conference - 28th November, Central London

LONDON - Oct. 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Our National Maternity Services Conference comes as NHS reforms and changes to clinical governance present new challenges for the sector, at a time when the UK birth rate is growing at a rapid pace putting additional pressure on the workforce.
