UK Preconception EMCR Network

About

The UK Preconception Early-and Mid-Career Researcher (EMCR) Network was established in October 2021. The network brings together UK-based PhD students, EMCRs, clinicians, policy makers and mentors. Through regular meetings and activities we aim to create opportunities to form multi-disciplinary collaborations, support career development, build capacity and generate impact in the pre- and interconception health and care field. This will help to support the next generation of leaders in preconception health and care to develop their careers and achieve collective action.

The network is supported by the UK Preconception Partnership, a multi-disciplinary coalition of individuals and organisations working together to improve preconception health in women and their partners.
