INVITATION

Dear colleagues,

It is an honour to invite you to participate  and  attend   the  “3rd Course  on  Clinical  Cardiotocography  &  Fetal  Monitoring” to be held  in Athens on the 2nd and 3rd of October 2021, at “Mitera” Hospital.

The course is organized on behalf of the Swedish “Landstingens Ömsesidiga Försäkringsbolag” (Löf) by the “Hellenic Society of Cardiotocography and Fetal Monitoring” (HSCFM),”ΜITERA” Maternity/Gynecological Hospital and the “2nd Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology”, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens “Aretaieion” Hospital.

It is part of the holistic Swedish Educational Program “CTG & Fosterövervakning”® on antepartum and intrapartum cardiotocography and fetal monitoring, consisting of two parts. One interactive theoretical part which is taking place online through the web-platform “www.ctgfetalmonitoring.gr®” and one practical part which consists of the two-day course.

The Swedish Educational Program is considered to be one of the most efficient programs on clinical practice before and during labour in the world and Greece is the first country worldwide with the permission to educate Greek obstetricians, neonatologists and midwifes on its principles. Since 2017, an extended effort has begun regarding the homogenization of the existing guidelines on the use of cardiotocography before and during labour around the world, according to the recommendations of the “International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics” (FIGO). Sweden is one of the leading countries on this effort and has one of the lowest rates of caesarean section worldwide.

That is why, after a great effort, we proudly present the “3rd Course on Clinical Cardiotocography & Fetal Monitoring®” to be held in Greece and we hope that the Greek obstetricians, neonatologists and midwifes will benefit the most from it.

With respect
