About

I am an Associate Professor in Midwifery (Research), and also the Course Director for the MRes (Clinical Research). As well as being an active researcher, lecturer and research degree 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.

I also lead provision of pre-doctoral research training for nurses, midwives and allied health professionals. 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 Training Lead for the NIHR South London CLAHRC http://www.clahrc-southlondon.nihr.ac.uk/.

My main research interests are in maternity care implementation and evaluation. I specialise in qualitative and narrative methods, and evaluation of complex interventions.
