Mum and baby lying down, being changed
Research and Education Series

The Red Nose Research and Education Series brings together leading researchers, clinicians, and the families we support to explore critical advances in pregnancy loss, stillbirth, and infant death.

Hosted by members of our National Scientific Advisory Group, staff, and researchers, each session centres on a real family story alongside the science.

This series of Research and Education Videos includes real-life stories of loss.

If you need support, remember that we are here for you 24/7 on our Grief and Loss Support Line on 1300 308 307 or you can visit the Grief & Loss Support Hub on our website.
