This World Health Day, Alison Perry shares her experiences as a research midwife returning to the front line of clinical care during the COVID-19 outbreak. #SupportNursesAndMidwives
My name is Alison and I’m the Lead Research Midwife and manager of the Women’s Health Research Centre at Imperial College. My work is at the intersection of health and science and COVID-19 has hit this space like a bolt.
I lead a team of research clinicians (including many midwives) and support a portfolio of clinical research related to reproductive health and childbirth. Since the outbreak, most of that research is on hold.
