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.
New research conducted by researchers in the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Maternal and Neonatal Health and Care provides evidence that women with epilepsy (a high-risk population) are as likely as women without epilepsy to have a postpartum six-week check and this check may play a role in increasing the use of contraception and the detection or treatment of adverse health outcomes in the first year postpartum.
