4. Parents' Voices - Mark Williams & Professor Julia Sanders

Over the last few months, we have been very aware of some of the changes made in maternity services in order to ensure safety and services of women and their families, and this has impacted on women and their partners in particular. This evening we are looking at the views and experiences of parents – first through sharing the newly published WRISK study ’Users experiences of COVID -19 maternity service changes’ – which is a Cardiff University/BPAS project, supported by the Wellcome Trust. And then we are focussing on Dads mental health, and looking at ‘why Dads matter’, looking to support and improve the care and support for dads, and therefore the family as a whole. Join us at 7 pm on Wednesday 27 January at this hour-long online programme with live audience Q&A to update your knowledge.
