ARC’s involvement in research
ARC has always worked closely and collaboratively with healthcare professionals to help ensure the best possible care for expectant parents through antenatal testing and its consequences. In addition to our work directly with parents and healthcare professionals, ARC also gets involved in relevant research projects.
We collaborate in research to make sure we keep up to date with the latest developments, to maintain working relationships with expert clinicians and academics, and, most importantly, to ensure that research is of real benefit to expectant parents and families.
Our current research involvement includes participation in the EXPRESS and Understand projects.
UNDERSTAND
We are working with colleagues at Queen Mary, University of London and Barts Health on a research study called ‘Understand’ that aims to improve how health care professionals communicate difficult or unexpected news in pregnancy to women who have a mental health condition.
