Louise is an experienced health visitor, a practice educator and the 0-19 Service Research Lead at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust. She has a strong interest in public health research and projects that address the needs of babies, children and their families. This project is ‘close to practice’ research that has the potential to directly influence health outcomes for our families and shape our service delivery, through staff training. We are eager to support the delivery side of the research project and determine whether the outcomes can influence policies of the future.
