Hello, I am a midwife who has recently started a PhD in nursing at Cardiff University. My area of interest is looking at the needs of mothers whose babies are admitted to NICU. I would be so pleased to hear back from anyone with an interest in this area of research or midwives in general! Many thanks, Lowri
