Each year, NCMD produces two Thematic Reports that analyse data from the National Child Mortality Database (NCMD) to investigate child deaths and highlight key learning related to a selected topic. The goal of these reports is to provide valuable insights and recommendations for service providers and policymakers to help prevent future deaths.

We invite professionals to contribute to the development of  NCMD Thematic Reports. If you would like to propose a topic for our next Thematic Report, please download and complete our Topic Proposal Form or submit your proposal using the online version.

Completed forms should be submitted electronically to ncmd-programme@bristol.ac.uk by Wednesday 30th of April 2025.
