About the Specialty

NRS Reproductive Health and Childbirth advisory group

The NRS Reproductive Health and Childbirth advisory group consists of local champions from each Health Board and representatives from Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), Midwifery, Nursing and Trainees.

This group is designed to share key information regarding research in Scotland in Reproductive Health and Childbirth:

  • disseminating this locally and advising the Clinical Lead and Champion Support Manager of any local barriers to research
  • sharing good practice across various Health Boards

The lead midwife, lead nurse and trainee representative will represent the Specialty in relevant NIHR meetings as needed. Patient representatives from each sub-specialty within Reproductive Health will also attend, providing feedback on study design and research generally from the patient perspective.

The group aims to meet remotely 4 times a year.
