The Perinatal Institute strives to be a centre of excellence in audit, research, education and training, with the primary focus on understanding the causes and developing strategies for the prevention of perinatal compromise.

We maintain that a significant proportion of perinatal mortality and morbidity is avoidable by enhancing health care and addressing social inequalities.

We aim to distil, disseminate and promote evidence for best practice, and assist commissioners and providers with strategies to fulfil national, regional and local targets.
