The PIP study: Thanks to those who have taken part and a request for more to come forward

This study by the University of Leicester concerns decision-making about whether a baby should be born late preterm or early term. The research team say little is known about the input parents would like to have in such decisions or the input obstetricians, neonatologists and midwives think parents should have. However, it has been found that most parents do want to be involved in the decision-making and that many women feel dissatisfied with theinput they are able to have.

The research team would like to extend their thanks to all those who have already taken part and to ask for more to come forward – please email or telephone the Principal Investigator, Dr Frances Mielewczyk (fjm13@leicester.ac.uk; 0116 252 5468).
