Our first speaker is the absolutely incredible Dr. Ali Fung, Clinical Director of Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) at the Mercy Hospital for Women (MHW).
In addition to her amazing skills and experience in all areas of Maternal Fetal Medicine, Ali's passion is medical education. Ali is our trusted ‘go to’ in all the Mercy Perinatal education events, and she has just completed her maximum term as MFM Chair for RANZCOG- responsible for leading training of all MFM specialists across Australia and New Zealand. You do not want to miss Ali's 'Tips from the Top End': ‘Hydrops Fetalis - a map for navigating treacherous waters’.
Next, we have Professor Stephen Tong, Co-Director of Mercy Perinatal and Director of research at the Mercy Hospital for Women. His 'Tips from the Top End' will be on ‘What's the safest way to Birth Twins?’
Stephen is a clinician scientist - a specialist obstetrician steering large research programs that are chasing discoveries to make pregnancy safer for expectant mothers and their unborn baby. A familiar face to all GOU attendees, (although tricky to recognise outside of his signature opening costumes) Stephen is a brilliant communicator and fantastic addition to our April Twilight.
Finally we are joined by an unfamiliar face to Twilight, so make sure you give her a warm welcome... Professor Sue Walker. Sue 'Tip from the Top End' will be on the clinical dilemma of ‘Vasa Previa: think, look, act.'
Sue is Professor of Maternal Fetal Medicine at Mercy Hospital for Women and is Co-Director of Mercy Perinatal. She divides her time between her clinical commitments, research program and leadership.
