We know Mag Sulphate improves neurodevelomental outcomes in preterm babies. May also reduce HIE. Maybe an affordable prophylaxis in LMIC countries where HIE prevalent. Food for thought/prospective studieds needed. eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

Time is brain, but UK 🚑 crews spend longer on scene before taking stroke patients to hospital than in other countries.

Why? And what can we do to improve this?

#irondeficiency and #anaemia in pregnancy. We are designing a clinical trial to address the issue of #anaemia in pregnancy. With a trial you have to have a key objective i.e. the main outcome. If you were pregnant and had anaemia what is the top choice you would want ?

An issue close to my heart, as we lost our little Lila to PPROM. 🩷

A really important study, and a beautiful infographic with clear information.
