The Centre for Reproductive Research & Communication exists to develop and deliver a research agenda that furthers women’s access to evidence-based reproductive healthcare, driven by an understanding of women’s perspectives and needs.
About the Centre
The Centre for Reproductive Research and Communication was established in 2019 with a mission to emphasise women’s experience of pregnancy-related issues, from contraception to infant feeding, and make recommendations for where improvements can be made. We draw directly on bpas’ own work providing care for women with unplanned pregnancy or a pregnancy they cannot carry to term, but more importantly we apply bpas’ belief in providing women with evidence-based information and delivering woman-centred care to the spectrum of reproductive issues.

WRISK project
The WRISK project is a collaboration between bpas and Heather Trickey at the School of Social Sciences at Cardiff University. Working with stakeholders from a wide range of disciplines, the project draws on women’s experiences to understand and improve the development and communication of risk messages in pregnancy. The project is funded by the Wellcome Trust.
