We have released our Race Equity Project Summary Report, which builds on our previous racial equity work and allows us to better understand the scope of racial inequality within O&G. A diverse O&G workforce brings significant value to both healthcare providers and patients. Enhanced diversity brings about a myriad of benefits and improves the overall quality of care. rcog.org.uk/media/vnliunrj/r…

Preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity, with three-quarters of neonatal deaths occurring in babies born preterm. It is also the leading cause of child death in the UK. Proud to contribute to the evidence that informed the report published today 'Preterm birth: reducing risks and improving lives' by the House of Lords Preterm Birth Committee. The report has addressed national targets, inequalities and the research needed, as well as the recommendations proposed to the governments and key stakeholders. publications.parliament.uk/p…
