The aim of this study was to explore parents' lived experiences of end of life care and their perceptions of support needs during and following the death of their baby in neonatal intensive care units in the United Kingdom. A qualitative interpretative phenomenolo…

This paper draws on a two year evaluation of a community embedded intervention for fath…

Less well known are its efforts to change public policy using an array of lobbying methods and advocacy techniques. The background to this more overt political influencing role is explored in this article using the example of a five‐year campaign to change some of the critical assumptions…
