Help shape research on what it’s like to be pregnant, breastfeeding, or caring for a baby during a big infection outbreak – like COVID

Co-Production Collective is supporting a team at University College London (UCL) 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. We are looking for members of the public to join our advisory board and share their experiences and ideas.
