I am a registered midwife and NIHR Doctoral Clinical Academic Fellow at Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust/King’s College London. I am currently undertaking a PhD which is a mixed methods study exploring how pregnant and postnatal women with two or more long-term use health services and experience midwifery care, as part of multi-disciplinary maternity care. My previous work has included being a co-investigator in the MuM-PreDiCT collaboration, a study across four countries in the UK to improve care for pregnant women who are managing two or more long-term health conditions. As a midwife researcher with the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) South London Maternity and Perinatal Mental Health theme I worked on research on community-based continuity of midwifery care models; implementation of the Maternal Mental Health services (ESMI-III); and participatory research on tackling inequalities in maternal health outcomes which culminated in a Photovoice project the MORE (Maternity Opportunities Research Engagement) project and exhibition. Within the ARC I also worked closely with the theme’s Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) lead, and a diverse network of public contributors. I have extensive experience as a Clinical Research Midwife supporting delivery of a range of clinical trials and studies on pregnancy complications. My interest is in how we can improve care and outcomes for women with physical and mental health conditions during pregnancy, birth and postnatally. I am interested in the use of routinely collected electronic health record data, participatory methods and involving those with lived experience throughout the research process.
