PERIPrem (Perinatal Excellence to Reduce Injury in Premature Birth) was initially launched across the West of England and South West Academic Health Science Network Regions in April 2020.
It is a unique, perinatal care pathway of 11 evidence-based interventions to reduce preterm mortality and brain injury, using a co-design and co-production approach rooted in Quality Improvement methodology. Its resources have been used to inform the British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM) perinatal optimisation pathway toolkits.
In January 2023, the Maternity and Neonatal Network received a commissioning request from Chief Nursing Officer Sue Tranka and Deputy Chief Medical Officer Chris Jones in Welsh Government to deliver Phase 1 of the PERIPrem programme in Wales.

Our PERIPrem Cymru teams across Wales are gathering stories from mums and families who have gone through the experience of a premature birth and benefited from their health care professionals using the PERIPrem Cymru care bundle.
We will be adding more parent stories in Welsh and English over the coming months.
