The Policy Research Unit in Maternal and Neonatal Health and Care (PRU-MNHC) began a programme of work in January 2019 with funding from the Policy Research Programme at the Department of Health and Social Care (England) via the National Institute for Health Research.
The NPEU Clinical Trials Unit (NPEU CTU) is a fully registered UKCRC Clinical Trials Unit and typically runs a number of large multi-centre Randomised Controlled Trials.
The NPEU also conducts Social Sciences, Health Economics and Epidemiological Research (SHEER) which includes on-going influential studies.
Alongside the updated Maternity Service Standards Framework, the The Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists (RCOG) have also published the 12th maternity care standard for cross-cultural communication: 'The Cross-Cultural Communication and Language Support: Standards for Maternity Care and Women's Health'.
These standards set out practical, actionable steps for NHS commissioners, providers, agencies, and interpreters.
