Marian Knight, Professor of Maternal and Child Population Health from the NPEU recently appeared in a BBC News feature discussing the changes that need to be made in the future following the inequalities highlighted in the recent MBRRACE-UK collaboration's annual report, Saving Lives, Improving Mothers' Care.

We know that black women are much more likely to have severe complications than white women, so it's clearly a really important area to focus on and work out why. The difficulty is that there is no one easy answer, it's actually a very complex picture.
