Profile

I am an academic clinician with an interest in women’s health, specifically obstetric haematology, clinical epidemiology, and trials. I teach therapeutics in pregnancy, research methods, and public health to both undergraduate and postgraduate students and supervise masters and PhD students.

Research

Research Interests:

I completed my PhD in 2019 using a variety of statistical modelling techniques to understand the impact of maternal anaemia on health outcomes in high- and low-income countries.  I continue to work with WHO, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the British Society of Haematology on clinical guidelines and policy related to maternal nutritional deficiencies, thrombosis and bleeding disorders.

I am a co-investigator on a variety of clinical trials, including studies on diabetes prevention in pregnancy (EMMY study), intrapartum haemorrhage management (ACROBAT study), and postnatal health optimisation (OMAHA study).

I am interested in facilitating patient and public involvement and exploring novel strategies to encourage coproduction research in women’s health.
