Congratulations to TIMMS PhD student Dr Julia Clark on the publication of her main findings from her PhD research

We welcome the launch of certificates for those who have experienced pregnancy or baby loss, offering recognition of the tiniest of lives. Currently, it's limited to losses since Sept 2018 - we're anxious to see this extended soon.

Today's news isn't all that clear - but if you experienced pregnancy loss through a termination of pregnancy for any reason, and you would like one of these certificates, you can access one. You don't need proof of a termination or to justify your choice.

Please encourage those you know who have suffered miscarriage and other types of pregnancy loss to consider whether a personalised certificate acknowledging their baby would be helpful in their journey to recovery #womenshealthstrategy

Losing a baby can be an unbelievably painful and traumatic experience.

We're introducing a voluntary certificate for parents to recognise the loss of a baby before 24 weeks of pregnancy, as part of the #WomensHealthStrategy and #PregnancyLossReview .
