Profile
I worked as a clinical nurse in the field of cardiothoracic surgery before becoming a midwife. My focus was in normalising childbirth and the promotion and support of best practice in relation to infant nutrition.
As an experienced midwife, I moved into higher education at the University of Leeds as a Lecturer/Practitioner in 2005. I became a Lecturer in Midwifery in 2006 and have a special interest in the development of a practice that has a robust evidence base, delivered in an innovative, progressive manner in resource-constrained contemporary practice.
