Who we are

Katies Team is a women’s health PPI group established in 2015. The group is situated in East London, one of the most deprived and diverse areas of the UK.

We are a community of women, men, families, and carers of various ages, backgrounds and ethnicities, working together to enhance research related to women's health, reproductive health, pregnancy, and childbirth.

​

What we do

We meet three times a year to advise on specific research questions, provide guidance on the direction of the research, and learn more about research in women’s health.

​

Why do it?

To ensure women’s health research is done effectively and remains relevant to the needs of local mothers. We are passionate about making a meaningful impact for women and families.

​

Who can join?

Anyone with a personal experience of childbirth, pregnancy or reproductive issues, and their partners or family members. We particularly welcome members from East London.  If you live outside of London, you are welcome to join our mailing list – we also send out electronic newsletters every few months with updates and involvement opportunities.
