Previously, as a midwife researcher with the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration South London Maternity and Perinatal Mental Health theme she worked on research on community-based continuity of midwifery care models; implementation of the Maternal Mental Health services (ESMI-III); and continues to work on participatory research focussed on tackling inequalities in maternal health outcomes.
