Doppler in Maternal–Fetal Medicine From Theory to Hands-on Practice

A one-day hybrid course (on-site and online) in Doppler assessment for pregnancy, led by Professor Asma Khalil Dear colleagues, Join us for a one-day hybrid course on Doppler assessment in pregnancy, led by Professor Asma Khalil. This clinically focused, case-based course will cover Doppler ultrasound in obstetrics and maternal–fetal medicine, from the underlying physiology to practical clinical application. Focused lectures, real clinical cases and hands-on rotating stations will help participants develop both the technical skills required to obtain accurate Doppler waveforms and the confidence to interpret their findings in clinical practice. Event details: Date: Sunday, 22 November 2026 Time: 08:30–18:00 UK time Location: Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), London Format: Hybrid – attend in person or join live online Why Attend? • Strengthen your practical skills: Learn how to obtain accurate Doppler waveforms and avoid common technical errors. • Improve clinical interpretation: Understand how Doppler findings inform the assessment and management of high-risk pregnancies. • Learn from an expert: Receive focused teaching led by Professor Asma Khalil. • Apply learning to real cases: Explore clinical scenarios involving fetal growth restriction, pre-eclampsia, twin pregnancy, fetal anaemia and congenital infection. • Gain hands-on experience: On-site participants will practise key Doppler assessments at rotating practical stations. • Choose how to attend: Join the course in person at RCOG in London or participate live online. • Receive a certificate: All eligible participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
