Rebecca’s interest in obstetrics and gynaecology started during her intercalated clinical sciences research component completed during her time at UoB medical school. Over this time in 2016, she examined the effectiveness of different uterotonics for the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage and contributed to the development of a Cochrane network meta-analysis. This established an interest into both research and obstetrics and gynaecology. Since then she has built her research experience including further systematic reviews, a cohort study and qualitative work.
- Aspirin for preventing adverse pregnancy outcomes A meta-analysis examining the use of low-dose aspirin in women at low risk of pre-eclampsia. Further work planned to determine whether aspirin for this group of women may be beneficial.
- Peripartum cardiomyopathy in subsequent pregnancies A meta-analysis exploring outcomes in subsequent pregnancies for women with peripartum cardiomyopathy in an index pregnancy.
- CHAPTER: Childbirth Acquired Perineal Trauma Study 4 year multi stage NIHR Programme grant and to optimise care of perineal trauma. Currently, Rebecca is involved in the prospective, multicentre cohort study and systematic review work package. Later work will involve development of a core outcome set and wound assessment tool.
