Hello and welcome to the August update!

We hope you are all enjoying the summer holidays.

We are delighted to let you know that the abstracts we submitted to the Society for Reproductive and Infant Psychology (SRIP) have both been accepted as poster presentations. Ellinor will be presenting these in the SRIP conference this September in York. To add to this, the focus group study we reported on in our last blog is well underway. Ryc is recruiting participants (women who have had a child in the UK in the last 18 months) to take part in a study exploring your views and experiences of care as delivered collaboratively by midwives and health visitors. The next session will be held on the 9th of August, at Comet Nursery and Children’s Centre (details below).

Finally, the team are busy getting the word out on the studies concerning COPE. Just a few weeks ago, Ellinor presented the findings of the women’s views study at Positive Birth Conference (https://www.city.ac.uk/events/2017/july/positive-birth-conference-2017). You can browse through all the tweets here.

As ever, we would love to hear from you! Let us know what you think of our blog post, or ask us any questions regarding the COPE project via cope@city.ac.uk.

Until then,
– Team COPE
