Doctoral research exploring postnatal experiences of hypertensive disease in pregnancy with a focus on underserved groups
DPhil student
My doctoral research explores the postnatal experiences of under-served women affected by hypertensive disease in pregnancy (HDP). The findings will inform co-designed recommendations for research and practice aimed at reducing the longer-term cardiovascular disease risks associated with HDP and addressing the complex factors that drive inequalities within this context.
