Research interests
I am a mixed methods researcher in Health Psychology and health services researcher applied to perinatal and women's health. My current work explores the experiences of, and investigates behaviour change in women with risk factors for poor outcomes in pregnancy, including smokers, those with risk of pre-eclampsia, chronic disease, and pregnancy diabetes (GDM). I am also working with colleagues to develop Core Outcome Sets for care after stillbirth and neonatal death. Previously I have developed a co-designed antenatal education intervention (ACE) and have conducted work exploring decision making in maternity care.
I am lead of WREN (Women's health Research Engagement Network), which aims to engage women from the underserved groups in all research activities in the Academic Women's Health Unit.
