We are grateful to the HiPPP EMR-Collective for this recognition, and thrilled that the International Award for Outstanding Impact Outside Academia has been presented to Madeleine Benton. The Health Literacy in Pregnancy programme would not look as it does today without Madeleine’s dedication.

It’s been such an exciting journey! We’re continuing with our Health Literacy course in Southend, and we’re having a truly wonderful experience. Each week we’re moving forward in our understanding of how to support the health of pregnant women who speak English as a second language.
