Elizabeth Bryan Multiple Births Centre World Café
Various campuses. Please see booking information
Free
The Elizabeth Bryan Multiple Births Centre World Café event is focused on researching the first 1001 days of multiple birth babies, from conception to two years old. Research has shown that this period is crucial for development, but policies often focus on one parent and one child, leaving multiple birth families feeling overlooked and left out. Through the World Café, the centre are bringing together multiple birth families and healthcare professionals with the aim to improve services for the better.
The first World Café event will be at the Thinktank, Millennium Point, Birmingham, B4 7AP on 2 December 2024 from 9:30-12pm.
The second World Café event will be at The Chai Centre, Hurtley St, Burnley BB10 1BY on 28 January 2025 from 12pm-3pm.

At the study event, there will be six tables labelled with a topic for discussion drawn from the first 1,001 critical days' timeline for multiple birth parents. These topics will be:
- Pre-conception/early pregnancy
- Antenatal care/scans etc
- Preparing for birth and birth choices/experiences
- First days with the babies in hospital (neonatal units or wards)
- First days and weeks at home (up to 3 months of age)
- 3 months to 2 years of age
Parent participants in the World Café can move from one table to another to take part in conversations, alongside healthcare professionals.
