Thanks so much to all the LGBTQIA+ people and their healthcare professionals, family, friends, gamete donors and surrogates who took part in the priority setting partnership process over the last 18 months, and to my wonderful steering group 3/3

To see all 48 summary questions go to bit.ly/results. To read more about the process, bit.ly/about. And to look at accessible summaries of any existing evidence that we found on the topic of any of these questions, bit.ly/evidence 2/

As usual, see bit.ly/PSPresults to see all the questions and bit.ly/PSPevidence for any evidence that we found that starts to address them #perinatalequity #LGBTQIA #twomums #twodads #allkindsoffamilies 2/2

These research priorities are the result of an 18 mth collaborative process of gathering questions, summarising, looking for evidence & then prioritising. All 48 summary questions are on the launch website, including one which we felt has already been answered by research 3/3

Questions 7-12 cover emotional labour, inclusive language, loss, geographical inequalities, risk stratification for pregnancy and labour care, and abortion. To see the limited evidence that is already out there on some of these questions, see bit.ly/PSPevidence #perinatal #lgbtqia #obsky #neosky 2/

Each day I will share six of the Top 24 questions. To see the full Top 24, and all 48 summary questions, go to: bit.ly/PSPresults. To see our summary of the evidence that is currently out there for each of these summary questions, go to: bit.ly/PSPevidence 4/

The aim of the project is to help target future research to the most important questions. We also want to share the qus with the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as the evidence we found that is already out there on some of the questions 3/

In our 2nd survey, 214 LGBTQIA+ people & their HCPs chose their Top 10 summary qus. This helped us choose 20 qus to take to a final prioritisation workshop. 4 more qus also stood out as being really important from the survey, so we are presenting the Top 24 questions 2/

Plus at least this design can protect disabled people, in contrast to LTN bollards

There were about 5 RCTs in the 50s/60s. Most showed some increase in milk volume or infant weight gain, some didn't. One neonatal unit RCT from Holland appeared to show dramatic increase in milk yield but larger RCT in UK did not replicate. Yes, potential for more research

Disingenuous to say that nasal oxytocin has too many side effects to use. Several countries use it without problems. Whether its effective is unproven but side effect profile is not a compelling reason for an alternative product (which will presumably be under patent and likely much more expensive)

Thank you for your wonderful review. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

I wish everyone would read it too.

Especially politicians. Then all doctors, whose voices are unsettlingly quiet on the matter of our government led withdrawal of trans healthcare and how this fits with ‘do no harm’.
