Grand Rounds

The Monthly Grand Round occurs on the first Tuesday of each month and is an excellent opportunity to collaborate and share a case or topic. We're keen to hear from all neonatal services in Scotland, so please do contact us at nss.perinatalnetwork@nhs.scot and we'll be delighted to add you to our MGR sessions schedule.

If you have missed any sessions you can catch up or watch previous sessions using this link:
