Jill Rogers Associates has been asked to organise an international conference to celebrate the award of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine to Professor Sir Robert Edwards convened jointly by the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, University of Cambridge and Reproductive BioMedicine Online. This conference aims to capture something of the radical, far-sighted, wide-ranging and challenging spirit of enquiry that has characterized Bob Edwards’ career.

The Solihull Approach is a visionary concept to working with children and families to improve the mental health of the nation developed by a team led by Dr Hazel Douglas at Solihull NHS Care Trust. At JRA we have worked with the Solihull Approach team for the past 10 years to write, field test, design and publish a substantial series of resources for professionals working with families with infants, children and young people and with adoptive parents and foster parents. The resources include an extensive range of practical handouts in printed and electronic format for use with parents and children, and are supported by workshops, cascade training and a helpline to the Solihull team. The resources include a government-approved Parenting course which has proved highly successful in developing parenting skills among parents with children of all ages.
We worked with the Department of Health team to develop innovative toolkits for health visitors and school nurses. JRA were responsible for the editorial development, liaison with the working group and steering group, development of the content, design concepts and for designing and publishing the resources. Both toolkits focus on ways in which professionals can work to achieve the then government's modernisation agenda for the health service.
Supervisors of midwives play a crucial role in maintaining high standards of maternity care. JRA developed the first, second and third editions of this highly successful open learning resource. Together with an expert steering group and with clinicians with specific expertise, we identified the major challenges for supervisors of midwives and developed materials to ensure that they had the knowledge and support they need to fulfil their vital role. We were commissioned by the English National Board for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting and subsequently the Nursing and Midwifery Council to produce these resources.
