Bereavement pathways following the death of a baby: A 30 year follow up of parent outcomes
This project offers a rare opportunity to follow-up a cohort of families who joined a longitudinal study following the death of a baby 30 years ago.
The goal of the research is to understand the long-term consequences of a baby’s death for parents and families and to explore pathways to resilient or adverse psychosocial outcomes.
This will be achieved by investigating parents’ experiences and outcomes following a baby’s death over a 30-year time span.
Understanding and experience in at least one of the following areas is essential: longitudinal research; perinatal mental health; bereavement care; mixed methods research.

Improving care following stillbirth and other forms of pregnancy loss
We are currently conducting online surveys in a number of countries to investigate the views of parents and health professionals in relation to stillbirth. The information being collected aims to identify strategies to improve care following stillbirth at health services and wider community levels. Both quantitative and qualitative data are being collected.
Other topics also exist in this area. Interested students are invited to make contact to explore possibilities.

Bereavement pathways following the death of a baby: A 30 year follow up of parent outcomes
This project offers a rare opportunity to follow-up a cohort of families who joined a longitudinal study following the death of a baby 30 years ago.
The goal of the research is to understand the long-term consequences of a baby’s death for parents and families and to explore pathways to resilient or adverse psychosocial outcomes.
This will be achieved by investigating parents’ experiences and outcomes following a baby’s death over a 30-year time span.
Understanding and experience in at least one of the following areas is essential: longitudinal research; perinatal mental health; bereavement care; mixed methods research.
Please email me if you would like further details.
Improving care following stillbirth and other forms of pregnancy loss
We are currently conducting online surveys in a number of countries to investigate the views of parents and health professionals in relation to stillbirth. The information being collected aims to identify strategies to improve care following stillbirth at health services and wider community levels. Both quantitative and qualitative data are being collected.
Other topics also exist in this area. Interested students are invited to make contact to explore possibilities.
