WE DID IT!! 🎉🎉🎉 We are thrilled that the Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Bill reached royal assent today! Around 60,000 parents annually will benefit from up to 12 weeks’ leave and pay when their babies are born needing neonatal care.

Ever wondered how long it takes to reformat papers for journal submissions?

We did, and decided to write about it! We calculated time and money lost, interviewed journal editors and researchers, and developed some new guideline propositions.
