The MPS Foundation

An MPS Foundation funded research programme, the Medicine and Motherhood (MAM) Study led by Dr Sinéad Lydon, Associate Professor in Primary Care, University of Galway School of Medicine, launched its survey at the recent Women in Medicine in Ireland Network (WiMIN) Conference. This short but important survey aims to develop an understanding of the experiences of women doctors working in Ireland around family planning, pregnancy and motherhood and its relationship to doctor wellbeing, work-life balance, and career satisfaction. Data from this survey, and other studies within the MAM project, will support the development of evidence-based recommendations intended to improve the experiences of women doctors in Ireland who seek to balance motherhood and a medical career. If you are a woman doctor working in the Republic of Ireland who is either currently pregnant, has a child(ren), or has experienced infertility or accessed fertility treatments, please consider completing the survey, and forwarding the request to colleagues or friends that you think might be interested in participating.

To mark #WorldMentalHealthDay we wanted to reshare this valuable resource. The MPS Foundation is proud to be working with FDI World Dental Federation on the Mental Health & Wellbeing in Dentistry project.

One of our research projects “Understanding the role patients’ relatives play in ICU decision-making” led by Professor Thérèse Callus, University of Reading and Chris Danbury, Consultant Intensive Care Physician Southampton General Hospital. This project is focused on medico-legal collaborations in exploring the role of relatives in supporting best interests’ decision-making on ICU. The aim of this study is to identify the best ways to support and guide practice, inform the development of the normative framework that will lead to better patient experience, and promote healthcare professional wellbeing. Dr Chris Danbury presented some of the data collected in the pilot project that led to MPS Foundation supported national project at LIVES 2024, the annual ESICM conference in Barcelona.
