Welcome to the UK Preconception Partnership

- supporting preparation for pregnancy and parenthood

About us

The Preconception Partnership was established in 2018 to articulate a vision and take forward an action plan to improve preconception care in England, translating the evidence presented in a Lancet Series on this topic and normalising the concept of preparing for a healthy pregnancy.

What we do

The work of the Partnership covers a broad range of activities including engaging with policymakers to support policies related to women's preconception health, exploring research gaps and generating evidence through bottom-up strategies and public engagement, and harnessing routine data sources to build a robust system to monitor the state of preconception health in the UK.
