Hannah McCauley, Senior Research Associate (Midwifery) and Kirsty Lowe, Research Associate (Midwifery) at CMNH have been jointly shortlisted in the International Education Award category for their work to build the capacity of healthcare providers in antenatal and postnatal care in many low- and middle-income countries.

Dr Mary McCauley, Academic Clinical Lecturer at CMNH has been shortlisted for the Student and Trainee Award.

“I am thrilled to have been shortlisted for this award in recognition of my implementation research in many low- and middle-income countries to improve the health and wellbeing of women during and after pregnancy, whilst also working as a clinical doctor. Thank you to the organisers for shortlisting me and I am very much looking forward to attending the event in November.”
