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.
