Our next iHV Insights event:

When the worst happens: Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC)
Date: Thurs 25 January 2024
Time: 15:30-16:30

There is a new call for action following the first national Round Table for Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC), held in July 2023. The call is to improve training and improve care of families, across all professions working with parents. Unlike SIDS, there is currently no known way to reduce the risk of SUDC. Affecting approximately 40 children per year, the majority of deaths are seen in the 1-2 year age group. There is a role for health visitors to support parents confidently and to understand how they can help at the time of loss, and in the future in any subsequent pregnancies. We are bringing together speakers to share the evidence and their experience of loss.

Speakers include:

Nikki Speed – CEO & Co-founder SUDC-UK
Emily Cooper – Parent with experience of SUDC
Isobel McDougall – Health Visitor
