Multiple births research centre opens

An innovative new centre aimed at improving the support available to families of twins, triplets and more has launched in Birmingham.

The Elizabeth Bryan Multiple Births Centre (EBMBC), a collaboration between Birmingham City University and the Multiple Births Foundation (MBF), will carry out research into all aspects of multiple births.

The Multiple Births Foundation was founded in 1988 and is to date the only charity internationally that employs healthcare professionals dedicated to supporting multiple birth families and educating and advising professionals about their special needs.

The new centre will also provide training courses for healthcare and allied professionals, and work with practice-based partners in the West Midlands to develop health and social care services in order to meet the needs of these families.
