DPHIL STUDENT
I completed my undergraduate medical training at University Of Southampton in 2022 before completing my Foundation Training in the Thames Valley Deanery.
I am currently undertaking a DPhil in Women’s and Reproductive Health as part of Prof Collins’ Placental Imaging Group.
My main interests are using a combination of placental imaging and serum biomarkers to predict Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in the first trimester.
Alongside my DPhil work, I also work clinically as a trust grade ST1/2 in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and plan to commence Specialty Training after completing my DPhil.
