The post-holder will be based at Surrey (under the supervision of Dr Afrodita Marcu) and will join a wider team of academics at the University of Surrey working on this project (Professor Emma Ream, Professor Jo Armes, Dr Pippa Lally, and Professor Heather Gage). To deliver the project, the post-holder will also work closely with PPI representatives and collaborators at King’s College London, Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, and Medway NHS Foundation Trust. They will undertake quantitative research exploring the feasibility of the intervention, and qualitative research exploring what makes the intervention acceptable to pregnant women and midwives. They will work with the broader team to assess the feasibility outcomes of the trial, and to determine the primary outcomes on which to power a future full-scale trial. The appointed research fellow will work closely with the PPI panel, and will travel to the two study sites (Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, and Medway NHS Foundation Trust) to set up the study and recruit participants. A DBS check will be required for the research element of the role.
