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.
The results of the Most Premature Babies Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) have now been published in Archives of Disease in Childhood (Fetal and Neonatal Edition). Using methodology established by the James Lind Alliance (JLA) the Most Premature Babies PSP identified and prioritised evidence uncertainties or 'unanswered questions' relating to the most premature babies born before 25 weeks gestation (about 4 months early).
