18:20-21:00, Reuben Dining Hall 

How Can We Tackle the “Constellation of Biases” Affecting the Care of Pregnant Women?

Research into prevention of severe complications in pregnancy has identified multiple reasons why pregnant women do not received the same standard of care as the non-pregnant population. Concerning symptoms are often dismissed as being “normal for pregnancy”, essential medications may be stopped and investigations such as x-rays may be inappropriately withheld. Compounding the problem, pregnant and breastfeeding women are often excluded from clinical trials from which they have the capacity to benefit. At this seminar, Professor of Maternal and Child Population Health, Marian Knight will give an overview of her research in the area and discuss some of the ethical challenges and opportunities to make a difference.
