Excellent presentation Ben! Sharing the Caesarean Birth Core Information set results @BlairBellRS @RCObsGyn meeting! @Options_Study @STORK_Group @NIHRresearch @NIHRinvolvement @LivUniResearch @LivuniILCaMS

Very excited to see our @Options_Study work presented @BlairBellRS @RCObsGyn @NIHRresearch @NIHRinvolvement @LiverpoolWomens @LivUniResearch @LivuniILCaMS

Public patient involvement groups are a key part of our women’s health research. It is vital that we involve women in the ongoing work to improve the obstetric care they receive. Most recently, we went down to Granby Children’s centre to host a meeting as part of the Options Study. Thank you to all of the incredible women involved and Granby for hosting us! #obstetrics #womenshealth #pregnancy #PPI

Does it precipitate a mismatch between birth expectations and experiences? #citeas" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">…pregnancychildbirth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
