National surveillance of preconception health: a project led by Dr Danielle Schoenaker has identified that can be monitored using existing routine datasets to inform surveillance of preconception health in England. In collaboration with the and UK government Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), she produced a first national-level report card on women鈥檚 preconception health in England published by and in , and highlighted in an .
