About

I am an Associate Professor in Midwifery (Research), and Faculty Postgraduate Research Degrees Director (PhD and EdD programmes). I am Course Director for the MRes (Clinical Research) and co-director with Dr Nidhi Sofat for the PG Certificate in Healthcare Research Skills and Methods. As well as being an active researcher, lecturer and PhD supervisor, I co-lead the Faculty's 'Inclusive Health and Wellbeing' research group https://www.healthcare.ac.uk/research/inclusive-health-and-wellbeing-research-group/ which encompasses research amongst people at life transitions including pregnancy and birth, people with rare diseases, and global health research.

My research in maternity care is focused on evaluations of complex interventions, models of care and policy relevant research, and shared decision making. I lead the 'Ways of Knowing' theme in the pre-registration midwifery curriculum, focusing on critical examination of knowledge and evidence.

I lead on capacity development for aspiring clinical academics in nursing, midwives and allied health professions. My own doctoral and post-doctoral research were funded by National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Fellowships, and I am an NIHR advocate for Clinical Academic Careers (https://www.nihr.ac.uk/our-research-community/NIHR-academy/career-development-support/nihr-training-advocates.htm), and a member of the NIHR incubator for Nursing and Midwifery. I am deputy theme lead for capacity building, and also Training Lead for the NIHR South London Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) https://www.arc-sl.nihr.ac.uk/

Research

Most of my research is in maternity care, in service design and evaluation - I am interested in global health and maternity care as well as UK services, and I am currently involved in two process evaluations (studies nested within clinical trials)  - DESiGN https://www.hra.nhs.uk/planning-and-improving-research/application-summaries/research-summaries/the-design-trial-detection-of-small-for-gestational-age-fetus-sga/ and POPPIE https://www.medscinet.net/POPPIE/
