This session will explore the principles and practice of respectful maternity care, with a focus on cultural safety, dignity, and person-centred care throughout pregnancy and birth. Topics will include system-level perspectives on improving maternity experiences, models for delivering culturally appropriate care, and effective interventions in low-resource settings. Presenters will also examine what matters most to women in maternity care and where current systems may be falling short. All speakers will participate in a Q&A panel at the conclusion of the session.

We invite expressions of interest from clinicians, midwives, community leaders, researchers, and advocates working to improve maternity care experiences and outcomes.

This session will focus on the complex and often multifactorial nature of persistent pelvic pain, highlighting multidisciplinary approaches to care and system-level considerations in service delivery. Topics include models for integrated, multidisciplinary management, insights and challenges from establishing dedicated pelvic pain clinics, and emerging strategies for diagnosis and treatment. The session will conclude with a debate exploring the relative benefits of surgical versus non-invasive approaches to pain management.

We invite expressions of interest from gynaecologists, GPs, pain specialists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and clinicians involved in pelvic pain care or service design.

This session will highlight recent advances in ultrasound technology and its expanding role in the diagnosis and management of obstetric and gynaecological conditions. Topics will include innovations in imaging techniques, the use of handheld devices and remote teaching models in low-resource settings such as Fiji, and the importance of ultrasound as a core diagnostic skill in everyday clinical presentations. A focused presentation will also explore how ultrasound is enhancing the diagnosis of conditions such as endometriosis, improving both accuracy and patient experience. All speakers will participate in a Q&A panel at the end of the session.

We invite expressions of interest from sonographers, imaging specialists, clinicians, and educators involved in advancing the use of ultrasound in clinical practice, particularly those with experience in diagnostic innovation, remote training, or improving access to imaging in underserved areas.

This session will examine the intersection of climate change and women’s health, exploring how environmental challenges are shaping sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes and the responsibilities of clinicians and institutions in responding. Topics will include the direct and indirect impacts of climate change on sexual reproductive health, strategies for building climate-resilient health systems in low- and middle-income countries, and the role of obstetricians and gynaecologists as advocates and leaders in environmental sustainability. The session will also consider how national and international Colleges can contribute to reducing the environmental footprint of healthcare. All speakers will participate in a Q&A panel at the conclusion of the session.

We welcome expressions of interest from clinicians, researchers, policy advocates, and sustainability leaders working at the intersection of climate change, public health, and women’s health—particularly those engaged in practice or policy in vulnerable or resource-limited settings.

This session will focus on advancing inclusive, respectful, and evidence-based care for LGBTQIA+ communities, with particular attention to the needs of transgender and gender-diverse people in obstetrics, gynaecology, and reproductive health settings. Presentations will explore gaps and opportunities in screening practices, fertility considerations, and communicable disease prevention, alongside practical guidance on creating inclusive clinical environments and embedding gender diversity education into healthcare settings.

We welcome expressions of interest from clinicians, educators, and community health advocates with experience in LGBTQIA+ health, inclusive service design, and health equity.
