History
The Fetal and Neonatal Physiological Society (FNPS) was founded in 1974
during an informal meeting in Oxford. Prof. Geoffrey Dawes (1918-1996) and
Dr. Gerhard (Bo) Gennser took the initiative and were made honorary members
of the society in 1995.
The name of the annual conference (and society) has changed several times,
reflecting the widening scope of the society.
1974-80 Conference on Fetal Breathing
1981-83 International Conference on Fetal Breathing and other Movements
1984-95 Society for the Study of Fetal Physiology
1996-date Fetal and Neonatal Physiological Society
Mission statement
The FNPS stimulates discussion and exchange of ideas between physiologists,
obstetricians and neonatologists. The society considers an informal
gathering and presentations of new and preliminary data, especially by
investigators in training, essential to achieve goals.
Membership
Over the years the society has maintained its informal character and a lack
of rigid structures. Those who have attended at least one of the previous
three meetings are members of the society and will be informed about the
next meeting.
