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
