Overview
Georgina is a Research Assistant in the Centre for Maternal and Child Health Research. Her background is in Health Psychology, with key interests in family and healthcare professional experiences of children’s healthcare services. Her PhD focused on understanding the needs of families caring for a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening illness to highlight unmet needs, access issues and the role of expectations in children’s palliative care, end of life care and bereavement care services. Georgina’s expertise is qualitative interviewing including in-depth exploration of sensitive subject areas with potentially vulnerable participants and emotionally charged topics.
Her current role is on the GBS3 project, which explores testing for Group B Streptococcal (GBS) bacteria during pregnancy, focuses on a qualitative study of women and healthcare professionals’ views on GBS testing. This study includes a large clinical trial in collaboration with researchers at the University of Nottingham to investigate the implementation of routine testing in pregnancy in the UK. Georgina’s work aims to understand women’s knowledge, attitudes and acceptability of infection testing in pregnancy.
