Bayer's 19th Annual Lecture in Women's Health (2020)
This annual educational event is an opportunity for medical practitioners with a particular interest in women’s health from around the country to come together to learn and share insights about important topics in women’s health.
This year’s lecture took place virtually for the first time due to the Covid restrictions and we were delighted to have the lecture chaired by Dr. Caitriona Henchion, Medical Director of the Irish Family Planning Association.
