As Research Lead in Midwifery at Southern Cross University, my primary focus in research is within the field of midwifery decision-making and the impacts of this in relation to risk, safety and quality of health care provision on maternal and neonate health, midwives and the midwifery profession. Please click on this link to see how https://youtu.be/f49rjG3PVGA my research is driven by real life problems within the clinical and educational environment with the aim to gain an understanding how women & (student) midwives makes decisions as a single decision can have poor outcomes for mother and baby. Women's satisfaction with their childbearing experience and perinatal health are important considerations embedded in this.
