Players from London Irish Rugby Club have teamed up with health chiefs to launch a major video campaign aimed at cutting baby deaths. The video is the result of a year long piece of work pioneered by Berkshire West and East Berkshire CCGs and a range of health partners. Research showed that the bulk of information and support offered to new parents was aimed primarily at mothers, so the health teams wanted to develop something to reach out to new dads. Please keep an eye open for tweets about #LiftTheBaby and retweet and share as widely as possible.
