Pregnancy clinics 'should be set up in schools'
Antenatal clinics should be set up in schools to care for pregnant teenagers who are missing out on vital care, a major health watchdog said today. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) wants midwives to go into schools to offer advice to expectant young mothers and carry out health checks. Evidence shows that pregnant women under 20 often feel excluded from mainstream antenatal care and judged by their peers, Nice said.

UK study links antipsychotic drugs to clot risk
