Supporting better long-term care following pregnancy complicated by hypertension or gestational diabetes

We use a range of quantitative and qualitative methods, working with women, health and care professionals, and policy makers to support improvements in the health and care of women during and following pregnancy.

Previous and ongoing research has focused on self-monitoring and management of hypertensive pregnancies, development of interventions to support behaviour change, exploring how trials can be delivered equitably across populations, and how we can strengthen the maternity and postpartum care services.

The project would include patient and public involvement, working closely with women who are managing health conditions during pregnancy or may have poorer outcomes. The research can include quantitative and/or qualitative methods and will aim to support improvements in their care and experiences. The project would work within a multidisciplinary team including academics, clinicians, and charity organisations.

Preferred applicant background/skills: We are open to interest from potential candidates from all backgrounds, including healthcare professionals.
