The Provocateurs: Compassion during birth, and Screw up or breakthrough? Hosted by comedian Susan Morrison. Professor Yvonne Kuipers (Edinburgh Napier University) asks why women giving birth are shown so little compassion, surrounded by strangers and treated like they're on a conveyor belt in a baby factory. Dr Lucy Remnant (The University of Edinburgh) shares the scientific breakthroughs that followed seemingly catastrophic mistakes.

Guideline 14+ Must Be Accompanied By An Adult.

Please note: Unreserved Seating and latecomers may not be admitted.
