Obstetrics and Maternity Research

Our team currently has active research in several areas of Maternity care, as you can see below. If you would like to find out more information about any of these studies and how you can take part, please email midwifery.research@nnuh.nhs.uk.

 

 

  • The Rainbow Clinic:  The impact of a specialist service for parents who have suffered a stillbirth or neonatal death, helping and supporting them through a subsequent pregnancy – The Rainbow Clinic.

 

 

  • INGR1D2: INvestigating Genetic Risk for type 1 Diabetes (2): An important study that aims to identify children with genetic markers that put them at increased risk of developing Type 1 diabetes – The INGR1D 2 study.

 

 

  • PROTECT: The PROTECT study aims to find out if continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is more effective than finger-prick testing for pregnant mums with Type 2 diabetes. If we can show that CGM is better for managing glucose levels, the NHS will be able to offer this technology to pregnant mums with Type 2 diabetes in the future – PROTECT study.

 

  • Cleft Collective: Investigating the biological and environmental causes of cleft, the best treatments for cleft and the impact of cleft on those affected and their families – The Cleft Collective.
