Further adventures in podcasting - placenta, membranes and liquor.

In between clinical assessments, I have managed a new podcast.  This one covers abnormalities of the placenta, membranes and liquor.  As always with these podcasts, it is based on the evidence available at the time of recording.  If you are aware of new evidence which contradicts or develops any of the content, I would love to hear from you.  You can get in touch via the blog or by Twitter where you can find me as @peabodysono

I hope you find this useful, it is designed to be used by everyone scanning in obstetric ultrasound, whether you are training or, if like me you have been around forever and could use a little CPD!  Do feel free to share it with your colleagues and keep an eye on the blog for the next one.

9.30pm 16th July 2019.  I am aware that the last two minutes of the podcast are very quiet, I will be updating it later this week.

The references used in the compilation of this podcast are below.
