The main recommendations were:.🍼 Make information on human milk widely available from early pregnancy.🍼 Remember different experiences and needs.🍼 Provide chances to ask questions.🍼 Provide all information so people can make their own decisions.

I loved presenting my PhD work at #dioxin2023 last week and hearing from all the researchers advancing our understanding around halogenated persistent organic pollutants. (Also how gorgeous is Maastricht?!) #phdlife

Future researchers may wish to recalibrate QRISK3 to accurately predict cardiovascular events for UK Biobank participants using this model.

QRISK3, a cardiovascular disease prediction model derived and validated using primary care data, is often used in the UK Biobank cohort. Just published is my work with @Oxford_NDPH to externally validate this model in UK Biobank for future researchers ⬇️.
