Making care safer by conducting and supporting vital research
As a leading voice in maternity safety, we work with top universities to transform maternity care, women’s experiences and prevent harm through research. Our own unique research projects focus on identifying and overcoming the barriers to safer maternity care.
Improving Care
The majority of babies who don’t survive birth or the first few weeks of life may have had a different outcome with different care. We have made it our mission to eradicate these tragedies and improve care for all mothers and babies.
Baby Lifeline’s work focuses on prioritising the prevention of avoidable harm in maternity and neonatal care. Through our own research we go straight to the heart of improving care – ensuring that those caring for mothers and babies have the tools and knowledge they need to give the best care possible.
Our recent work is listed below.
Supporting vital research
Baby Lifeline works with top universities steering research and providing advice. This work has the potential to change the landscape of maternity and neonatal care, and make care better for mothers and babies.
Mind the Gap Series
Mind the Gap is an ongoing piece of research by Baby Lifeline, which investigates what training looks like for maternity professionals working in the NHS. The report focuses on training relating to themes in the causes of death and life-changing injuries for mothers and babies.
Closing the Gap
Closing the Gap is an analysis of maternity safety training based on recommendations from Baby Lifeline’s Mind the Gap Report (2018). This analysis provides a guideline for what must be spent on maternity safety training to improve care.
