“A consortium of eight universities from all four UK nations with a multidisciplinary team, comprising of health data scientists, clinicians and patient and public representatives, was established for MuM-PreDiCT. Their vision was to use data-driven research to characterize and understand the determinants and consequences of multimorbidity in pregnant women; and to predict and prevent multimorbidity and its adverse consequences in women and their offspring.鈥听
鈥淭he team is recognised for their leadership, inclusivity – particularly their involvement and support of early career researchers. The panel applaud the team鈥檚 public and patient involvement and engagement which shows real evidence of co-production in an underserved area.鈥
