Yesterday we hosted a roundtable discussion in the UK Parliament. Joined by paediatricians and other health organisations, MPs learnt of the pressing challenges facing the child health workforce today.

Today we launched our new report which highlights how Clean Air Clinics are tackling air pollution, poor housing and child health inequalities. We are now calling for urgent, cross-departmental action to protect children's health. Read more: www.rcpch.ac.uk/key-topics/a...

Short excerpt on impact of #measles and importance of #vaccination

Check out our new open access paper in @pediatricresearch.bsky.social . Highlighting the impact on thermal management, HIE and transport metrics following implementation of active therapeutic hypothermia by regional transport and referring centres for infants transferred for neo HIE rdcu.be/etXDT

fn.bmj.com/content/earl... in 2023, 71% of all UK births had access to servo controlled therapeutic hypothermia in their birth centre & on every neonatal transport. However, that leaves up to 377 infants with HIE needing to wait for the transport team to arrive. Time to reduce these inequalities.

Very exciting paper on UK NICU mothers own milk (MOM) has just been published online by Shalini Ojha's group: fn.bmj.com/content/earl... Strong social determinants of exclusive & any MOM. Highest risk of no/non exclusive are white mothers <26 years living in most deprived areas 1/

What a refreshing read. Could apply in many settings. This "Forget the idea that a bubble bath or an essential oil diffuser will magically solve this." is so true. Recommend you read and share.

New OA paper. Ever wanted quantification of importance of each gestational day on outcome in extremely preterm infants? Look no further! Some interesting observations here. C-section patterns very different to others such as US. Reductions in mortality most striking 1/2 fn.bmj.com/content/earl...

Open Access new paper. Using an off the shelf smartphone we demonstrate the power of a £/€/$200 technology to monitor neonatal transport vibration and noise exposure at scale. Look at the supplement to see how we can 'smart route' for safer transfer. fn.bmj.com/content/earl...
