About me
Registered midwife now lecturing in midwifery and researching. I am passionate about women-centred care and how to encourage holistic practice in the modern NHS.
Aware of the rise in medical intervention in childbirth, without the commensurate improvement in outcomes, I am curious about digging deeper into our conceptualisation of risk and medical intervention.
Recent interests include examining the complexities of ethnicity, risk assessments and racial bias, feminist analysis of risk in maternity care, pathologising difference, and the role of screening and monitoring.
Area of expertise
Intersectional feminist analysis of maternity care. The risk discourse in maternity care. History and social context of continous fetal electronic monitoring. Supporting physiological birth.
