I am a Professor of Women’s Public Health at the University of Hull. The areas of my research are alcohol including alcohol and pregnancy, maternal health, midwifery-led intrapartum care, and more recently adolescent sexual and reproductive health in sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, I am an Academic Adviser Panel member for the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK. In 2020, I set up the Hull Global Health Research Network with Professor Monica Magadi.
