Great talk on Summit results by Daisy Singla @TheMarceSociety Barcelona. BA for perinatal depression in-person v remote, nonspecialist v specialist. Excited for published results and their implications for policy. @ailsa_swarbrick @PerinatalDCP @rcpsychPeri
Important report demonstrating poorer access to services among a group of children and young people who are more likely to need support
🧵 New report Our study with @Cambridge_Uni shows disparities in access to NHS youth mental health services. Children with social work involvement for current concerns & those from the most deprived areas are far more likely to be rejected. Story: buff.ly/4fHJRu9
Had great time presenting @BABCP #babcp24 on research related to the NHS perinatal positive practice guide. What a fab team of co-presenters! Thanks @DrFionaCh for organising on behalf of the BABCP perinatal SIG.
Great work Emma!
It was lovely to talk to so many people about @OxChildPsych's AADAPT study. It's important to ensure we maximise acceptability of treatments for those we're working with #BABCP2024
So excited that the study that I'm co-investigator on is now recruiting!
We are busy recruiting for the ACORN II trial in Devon. We have researchers in first trimester scanning clinics talking to women about antenatal anxiety. Here’s to our Thursday clinic!
