The move unites expertise across the full translational pathway - from health research and large-scale clinical trials to clinical practice, education and policy impact. By joining NDWRH, NPEU will enhance and expand collaborative research focused on improving outcomes for women and babies in the UK and globally.
The strategic transition to bring together NPEU with NDWRH to consolidate and grow research into women’s, maternal and children’s health was agreed by the Heads of Department Professor Krina Zondervan of NDWRH, Professor Prabhat Jha (and his predecessor Professor Rory Collins) of Nuffield Department of Population Health (NDPH), alongside NPEU Director, Professor Marian Knight and the Head of the Medical Sciences Division, Professor Gavin Screaton.
The partnership will:
- Strengthen and unify women’s health research and education at Oxford
- Bring together researchers working across the entire translational pathway
- Combine applied health research and clinical trials expertise with established global maternal and child health research networks
- Enhance the design and delivery of teaching and training programmes
- Increase collective capacity to deliver research that improves healthcare and outcomes for women and children worldwide
