‍

Highly experienced Registered Midwife with over 20 years of clinical practice across community and hospital settings. Extensive background in maternity and neonatal governance, patient safety, clinical risk management, and patient and family engagement and advocacy. All of this underpins my work as an independent midwifery expert witness. My experience includes senior roles, leading patient safety and improvement work in both maternity and neonatal services. I am currently practising at Cambridge University NHS Foundation Trust in the position of Risk and Governance Midwife.

I have significant expertise in the analysis of stillbirth, neonatal death and birth injury cases. I am skilled in reviewing complex clinical documentation, assessing care against expected standards, and providing clear, objective, evidence‑based opinions. I have completed specialist medico‑legal training including Civil Procedure Rules and expert witness CPR 35‑compliantreport writing (Bond Solon). I bring a structured, defensible approach to breach of duty and causation analysis, and I am adept at explaining complex clinical scenarios in plain, accessible language.
