We are working with @coprocollective.bsky.social and Tommy's (www.tommys.org) to make sure that people who have been pregnant and/ or cared for babies and young children during outbreaks of disease can have their say on how we prepare for future outbreaks

We are a group of researchers at University College London (UCL) working on a new project called RECENTRE. This project wants to understand how we can better prepare and respond to future infection outbreaks for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or making health decisions for their babies.

Did you experience the COVID pandemic whilst pregnant, breastfeeding or caring for a baby? We need your help to shape research on how best to support people like you during the next big infection outbreak. See below ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
