Professor Jill Shawe has developed a programme of research and education in perinatal care (PREPARE), which aims to improve outcomes for women planning pregnancy. 

PREPARE also includes the formation of a European pre-pregnancy research collaboration, which brings together EU and other countries to work together in this emergent area.
