You’ll contribute to the Maternal and Child Health research group’s wide expertise in studying high risk groups in pregnancy, childbirth, infancy and childhood. You’ll work to identify and reduce preventable burdens and complexity in women and their families in the perinatal period and in children with long-term health conditions or disabilities, recognising that health and wellbeing in the perinatal period and early years of childhood is important for adult health and wellbeing across generations.Within the School of Nursing and Midwifery our area of strength is health innovation through co-design and rigorous evaluation of health promoting and healthcare interventions with policymakers, practice partners, patients and carers. We have two core (Maternal and Child Health Chronic Illness and Palliative Care) and one emerging (Education and Practice) innovative research themes, which encapsulate lifespan health research from conception to end-of-life.
