School of Clinical Medicine

As a Conjoint Senior Lecturer at UNSW, my research and teaching focuses on hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and their long term health risks.

I am a Clinical Midwifery Consultant at St George Hospital and a member of the Obstetric Medicine Research Group. I have a great interest in HDP and am the project manager of two large clinical trials in this filed. One trial is being conducted at St George Hospital, the other at six hospitals around Sydney (Campbelltown, Liverpool, Royal Hospital for Women, Royal Price Alfred, St George and Westmead). I have experience in both quantitative and qualitative research.
