Research interests
Research interests include: nutrition education of midwives; maternal nutrition, overweight and underweight in pregnancy; diabetes and pregnancy; diabetes and breastfeeding and chronic radiation enteritis.
Previous projects include ‘Fit for Birth’ - a longitudinal cohort study of pregnant women living with obesity at Liverpool Women’s Hospital and two qualitative studies exploring the experiences of midwives and pregnant women regarding healthy eating and weight management advice during pregnancy.
