1 in 13 babies born in the UK are premature, meaning thousands of families are affected each year. To help understand the causes of this, Imperial College London will be one of 5 organisations supporting Tommy's new National Centre for Preterm Birth Research ⬇️ imperial.ac.uk/news/252157/ne…

Proud to support Tommy’s and work with Catherine Williamson. Very excited for the launch of the preterm birth research centre. WHRC Imperial College, London Imperial NHS 💙 Imperial College London Metabolism, Digestion & Reproduction

💥 NHS STAFF 💥 Please consider signing this open letter to Victoria Atkins & Amanda Pritchard at NHS England expressing your dismay at their extraordinary decision to cut NHS Practitioner Health funding for hospital staff. Please share widely 🙏 Letter here: forms.gle/YmXpi8dxSbW7UR…
