This is the pilot episode of Conversations in Fetal Medicine, a podcast about the people who work in this field. Our brave pilot guest is the fabulous Mr Tim Overton, interviewed on the cusp of his retirement as a Consultant in Obstetrics and Fetal Medicine. We talked about his career, what he finds so special about Fetal Medicine, some of its challenges, the role of research, what the future holds, and his tips for trainees (known in his department as Timmy's top tips). We have not included any patient identifiable information, and this podcast is intended for professional education rather than patient information. Please get in touch with feedback or suggestions for future guests or topics: conversationsinfetalmed@gmail.com. Music by Crowander ('Acoustic romance') used under creative commons licence.
