Impact of midwife continuity of carer on stillbirth rate and first feed in England
Source:
communications medicine
Date:
2025
Details:
n 2017, NHS England introduced continuity of midwife care, where women are supported by the same midwife team throughout pregnancy, birth, and after the baby's birth. We explored its impact using national data from women who became pregnant between 2020 and 2022.We compared women receiving this new approach of continuity of midwife care with those receiving standard care. More women under this new approach provided a first feed of breastmilk. Overall stillbirth rates were similar between the two groups. However, Black women under this new approach had lower stillbirth rates compared to Black women in standard care. We also found women with no antenatal appointments by 24 weeks of pregnancy were more likely to experience a stillbirth. These findings can help shape policies and research and encourage earlier access to antenatal services.

Countering the arms industry as a commercial determinant of health - Research, policy, and practice priorities
Source:
The BMJ
Date:
2nd September 2025
Details:
Commercial determinants of health are the products, practices, and structures of the private sector that affect health. There is a growing understanding that some of the main health challenges facing us, from non-communicable diseases to climate change to obesity, are linked to powerful elements of the private sector. The effects of gun violence, war, and displacement-despite their enormous burdens on health and healthcare-are rarely seen as being fuelled by commercial forces both on and far beyond conflict areas. But a series of BMJ articles on the arms industry as a commercial determinant of health (www.bmj.com/collections/arms-industry-health) shows how weapons manufacturers deploy corporate tactics-lobbying, marketing, and regulatory capture-to shape policy environments that prioritise their own profit over population and planetary health.
