Important thread 🧵 highlighting urgent need for investment in early childhood services & targeted support for those who need it most. This includes children & families who have needed neonatal care. Universal & specialist systems must work together.
Today’s @TheIFS report showing the positive impact of early #SureStart programmes on GCSE results is further evidence that #EarlyIntervention and family support can make a significant & positive difference to children’s lives 🧵👇.1/.

Important exploration of views of people with lived experience of neonatal care & HCPs working in neonatal care about data linkage. Great work. See thread for generated themes 😊 @NeoResearch_Net.
Linkage of routinely collected datasets offers tremendous potential for research on improving future outcomes of babies born preterm. But what do parents of preterm babies, adults born preterm and professionals think of data linkage? We undertook a study to explore their views 🧵.
