This programme, as with previous years,
is primarily an Obstetrics and Gynaecology initiative. The main objective
of the programme is the investigation of recommended research areas
arising from the National Service Framework for Diabetes. The programme
has been extended to include cardiovascular disease leading to hypertension
as this is a common complication associated with diabetes and confounds
a large proportion of diabetic pregnancies, resulting in increased mortality
and morbidity in mother and infant. |
