Covid-19 related work
In the context of COVID, the LEAP community of midwifery care is not being delivered consistent to the original study design, as midwifery staff are providing remote consultations and there are staff shortages due to deployment of midwives. This has had significant implications for our evaluation of the LEAP midwifery model.
The research team are investigating the impact of Covid-19 on women and their families particularly looking at how maternity and perinatal mental health services are delivered now and in the future. They are holding two events via Zoom to discuss these issues and would like to draw on a very diverse range of maternal and mental health experiences and interests. We particularly want to involve people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. Read about the events
