Beyond consumerism, choice is now associated with feminist issues of women’s autonomy, agency, consent and the human rights agenda. However, evidence suggests that women can face opposition, conflict, and reprisals when attempting to exert their agency…read more…</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - Biography</image:title>
      <image:caption>Qualifying as a midwife in 2011, earning my MSc in 2015, PhD in 2019; I have worked clinically in all areas of midwifery, in all settings, and across different trusts – specialising in physiological birth across the risk spectrum, water immersion, advocacy and change implementation. My primary research focus has been on the sociocultural-political interactions upon women’s access to, engagement with and experiences of maternity care. Grounded within interests of health inequalities, childbirth choices, autonomy, rights and care provision issues; my core research focus is on ‘full-scope’ midwifery skill, competence and enabling (or not) working environments as the solution to overcoming many of the issues. My primary educational focus, through lecturing and workshop delivery, is around these issues as well as reproductive rights, feminist thinking and research methodology.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The interwoven nature of my career so far has created opportunities in speaking, teaching, workshop development, consultancy and my Editor-in-Chief position at The Practising Midwife. I also support midwives across the globe - trouble-shooting workplace issues, providing evidence-based statements to support clinical practice change and providing tools for advocacy. I support student midwives and novice writers to publish academically. Much of my time is also spent in advocacy and activism roles, applying my knowledge and skillset to facilitate improvements in maternity care.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The interwoven nature of my career so far has created opportunities in speaking, teaching, workshop development, consultancy and my Editor-in-Chief position at The Practising Midwife. I also support midwives across the globe - trouble-shooting workplace issues, providing evidence-based statements to support clinical practice change and providing tools for advocacy. I support student midwives and novice writers to publish academically. Much of my time is also spent in advocacy and activism roles, applying my knowledge and skillset to facilitate improvements in maternity care.</image:caption>
