Newsletters/Reports
1) What do studies suggest about the
relationship between abortion and
preterm birth?
early studies looking abortion in relation
to a range of subsequent adverse
pregnancy outcomes generally found
no increase in risks with uncomplicated
procedures (1-3). Concerns were raised
about some subgroups, such as women
who had undergone dilation and curettage
as opposed to vacuum aspiration, or
dilation and evacuation because of the
extent of cervical dilation required.
Also, because data on women who had
undergone more than one abortion were
scarce at that time, studies could not
draw a conclusion as to whether there was
a ‘dose response relationship’ between
multiple abortions and poor obstetrical
outcomes.
More recent studies using very large
population-based data sets have
tended to show an increased risk of
preterm delivery in women who have
undergone an induced abortion, with
that association strengthening with the
number of abortions (4-7). A systematic
review and meta-analysis by shah et al
(8), for example, reported that a history
of surgical abortion is associated with an
odds ratio (OR) of 1.27 (95% CI 1.12–1.44)
for preterm birth, which further increased
with more than one abortion to an OR of
1.62 (95% CI 1.27 to 2.07).
2) Is there a risk of preterm birth posed
by a) previous miscarriages; or b)
previous preterm birth?
Prior spontaneous preterm birth is a strong
risk factor for subsequent spontaneous
preterm birth but early miscarriage is not
(9, 10). similarly, if the first pregnancy
resulted in a medically indicated preterm
birth, affected women are more likely
to deliver preterm because of medical
indications in the second pregnancy as
well as to deliver preterm spontaneously
(10). This suggests there may common
etiological factors at play. Interestingly,
a recent scottish study (5) found that
women who have had an abortion are at
no significantly greater risk of preterm
birth compared with women who have had
a previous miscarriage.
3) Is there a difference in the risk posed
by medical and surgical abortions?The data conflict on this issue. A large
study of Danish registries found no
difference in the risk of subsequent
preterm birth amongst women with a prior
medical or surgical abortion (12). Their
findings confirmed that of a previously
conducted prospective multicentre cohort
study in China of pregnancy outcomes in
nulliparous women with a self-reported
history of no prior abortion, one prior
medical abortion with mifepristone, or
a history of one first trimester surgical
abortion (13). In contrast, the scottish
study discussed above did find that one
prior surgical abortion appears to be
associated with an increased in the risk
of spontaneous preterm birth compared
with a medicalabortion (5).
This study could not demonstrate a
relationship between multiple abortions
and risk of preterm birth, but a multicentre
cohort trial did find that while multiple
medical abortions were not associated
with an increased risk of preterm birth
compared with no abortion, multiple
surgical abortions were (14). In neither of
these latter two studies was gestational
age at the time of the abortion available
for inclusion in the analysis.4) What have been some of the
limitations in studies to date?epidemiological studies are often
methodologically compromised by bias
and confounding factors. They also
are limited in that they can only ever
delineate associations, not causality, and
are rarely able to describe associations
that are strong enough and consistent
enough to make a causal relationship
highly likely.
The women who have undergone one or
more abortions in these studies are usually
different from the women who have never
had an abortion. Known differences may

Unwanted pregnancy – a fact of life
Edinburgh International Conference Centre, 19-20 October 2012
Abortion and contraception providers from europe and North
America met for the 2012 Congress of FIAPAC (International
Federation of Abortion and Contraception Professionals) to
share clinical and ethical research, experience and concerns,
to learn from each others’ practice and to be aware of the
legal and regulatory situation surrounding abortion in other
countries. This event highlighted the clinical improvements in
contraceptive and abortion care that have taken place over
recent years, and also the fact that the legal and political
context is continually shifting. With dozens of workshops on
issues ranging from education and training to methods of first
trimester abortion to stigma and ‘reproductive sabotage’, the
conference brought together over 400 people in a number
of stimulating discussions. Read a report on the conference

Reproductive Review
The re-branded, wider-focused
incarnation of Abortion Review
will continue to report on
clinical, political, and cultural
developments in abortion,
situating these within the range of
issues and experiences that affect
women over the course of their
reproductive lives.
For over many years, Abortion Review
has been reporting on clinical, political,
and cultural developments in abortion.
Reproductive Review will continue to do
this, only more so. With our expanded
focus, we will situate abortion in its proper
place, within the range of issues and
experiences that affect women over the
course of their reproductive lives.
We know that the women who seek
abortions are no different from the women
who have children, or want to have
children. In October 2012 bpas launched its
‘Mother, Daughter, sister, Friend’ campaign
(pictured on the back page) in mainline
train stations across Britain to highlight this
reality. The campaign was not controversial,
and the public response was appreciative.
statistics tell us that one in three women
will have an abortion in her lifetime, and
experience tells us that these women do
not exist ‘out there’, but among our friends
and family. Abortion has been legally
available and widely accessible in Britain
for over 40 years, and has enabled three
generations of women to take for granted
opportunities that their ancestors could
only dream of.
The ‘normalisation’ of abortion on a social
and cultural level has been reflected
and also enabled by advances in medical
technology and practices. The development
of early medical abortion (eMA, the
‘abortion pill’) has transformed abortion
from an operation performed by surgeons
to a pill swallowed by women themselves
that safely induces a miscarriage. This has
had a huge impact on the potential for
the demedicalisation of abortion services
throughout the world. Improvements in the
sensitivity of pregnancy tests mean that
women can know they are pregnant almost
as soon as it happens, and emergency
contraception has now been developed that
is effective up to five days after intercourse.
For centuries, women sought a way of
‘bringing on their period’ - in an increasing
proportion of cases, this is what we have
today.

BLACKBERRY PRODUCTIONS: SPECIALISTS IN CONFERENCE PLANNING AND EVENT MANAGEMENT
In the middle of June we had the pleasure
of managing and delivering the 8th annual
leadership conference and exhibition at the ICC in
Birmingham on behalf of the National College for
School Leadership. With close to 2,000 delegates
and nearly 100 exhibiting organisations early
feedback suggests the event will be judged the
most successful in its eight year history.
The core theme of the conference is leadership, delegates enjoy
hearing from world class speakers from education, business, sport
science and the arts sharing their insights into modern leadership.
Speakers included Olympic gold medal sprinter Jason Gardener,
Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove MP, actor Ben
Walden and singer/campaigner Annie Lennox, quite an eclectic mix.
Initial post event feedback and evaluation reflects that 97% of
delegates felt the conference met or exceeded their expectations.
However what reminds us of why we do the job we do is captured in
the following comments:
“high class with thought provoking and motivating content.Came away inspired and with new ideas and directions
to try”.
“it totally broadened my thinking on current issues, thefuture and where teaching, learning and education is going.
It has left a lot to think on and much more to action”.“being inspired to come back into the breach and tacklethe daily challenges”
The business of events is powerful stuff,
creating new knowledge, shifting attitudes and
perceptions, influencing and changing behaviours.
Conferences and events can be one of the most
expensive forms of communication but they can
also be one of the most memorable and effective.
“There is no buyer of anything for whom some factors other
than price aren’t relevant or important”.
It takes a little bit of thinking about this statement but I hope you’ll agree that
it is true. Why do you shop or buy from where you do?
Is it ever just about price?
Businesses that compete on price make it the
primary focus for the customer and it means that they
always have to be the cheapest.Being the cheapest means stripping away all
unnecessary costs, including those aspects that might be of
added value to the customer.
Learning and development = different thinking = changed behaviours = different results
A recent discussion prompted
by Martin Howe, Learningand Development Manager at
Raglan Housing Association
on the Employee Engagement
and Communications Linkedin
group posed the question:
What are the ingredientsof a fantastic one dayemployee conference?The question prompted wide ranging
responses, a number of them quite lengthy,
some only a few succinct words but all of them
demonstrating the passion people have for
getting employee conferences right or perhaps
more accurately for not getting them wrong!
Perhaps not surprising, given the group
name, is the high importance respondents
placed on engagement with the audience and
the need for involvement and interaction.There were many suggestions for achieving
engagement including icebreaker sessions,
making time to recognise and reward
staff,
engaging rather than preaching content, time
for people to talk to each other, experiential
exercises, theatre/dance/arts themed creative
sessions, a good quality facilitator, creating
short 1 minutes videos, an evidence/ideas
wall, iPad based quizzes, using a social
intranet, professional motivational speakers
and creative brainstorm sessions.Even the ‘humble’ table discussion session
gets a mention with a well briefed and
enthusiastic table facilitator to bring the
session to life.
Personally it was great to see the emphasis
placed on establishing a measurable purpose
for the conference. This is an area which we
feel very strongly about, largely because we
have too often met people who are planning
a conference with no real clarity of what
success will look and feel like.Respondent’s comments include; setting clear
objectives, clearly stated outcomes, a clearly
defined goal, a clear idea of what you are
actually trying to achieve, ensuring there’s a
purpose and intended outcome to the event
or as put very succinctly ‘begin with the end
in mind’.
The third strand is around
the importance of
there being a tangible outcome and not just a
‘day out of the office’. Framing the event in the
company’s big picture
enabling employees to
see where their effort fits into the company’s
overall strategy.
Ensuring the expectation that the time
and financial investment in staging the
event delivers a future return is clearly
communicated. It is suggested that regular
post event reviews are put in place to identify
the improvements made as a direct result of
the conference activities.
And finally an advocate of ‘fanatical
management’ of the practical details of the
event supports the comment for the need to
focus on the 1,000 down to earth tactics at the
actual event or as we say ‘it’s the small detail
that doesn’t get managed that catches you out
on the day’.
Seeing people actively engage with their
employer, understanding how and where they
can really make a difference makes getting
the employee conference right one of the most
rewarding events to design and manage.The plan is to introduce guest
writers in future editionsproviding
insights to

I caught up with a couple of the
team at a recent event whoin addition to correcting mythinking reminded me howpress articles and mediacoverage can be adouble-edged sword.
When their lottery success was
publicised, many people thought that
the Project’s financial difficulties were
behind them and they were now well
off. The money was in fact to fund a
specific project and not running costs!
With the current economic climate,
and further controls on government
spending and local authority grants.
They are still very much in need of
financial donations and support.

Without involvement, there is no commitment.
Mark it down, asterisk it, circle it, underline it.

Or if this is the first time you’ve received face to face – welcome.
Thanks to all of you who gave us such great feedback to our
first newsletter earlier in the year. As a result of this we’ve
made a few changes to style and content. The promised bottle
of champagne went to Andy Phillips of AP Insurance for his top
tips and suggestions - thanks Andy enjoy the bubbles.
If you have any fresh ideas, thoughts or suggestions for things you’d
like to see changed or included in future editions or you’re reading
face to face but didn’t receive your own copy get in touch at
facetoface@blackberryproductions.co.uk or give us a call on 01527 878 761
– we’d love to hear from you.
It’s been a topsy turvy year of weather so far with temperatures in the
low 20’s or low 70’s if you prefer, in March, announcement of widespread
drought in April followed almost immediately by
continual rain. Knowing what to expect in ‘Summer’
is anybody’s guess. But wherever
you are and whatever you are
doing in these summer months
relax a bit and have some fun.
Enjoy,
Steve, Jackie and the team.
