Ann Docherty

Ann is an experienced midwife who previously worked for the NHS for 10 years and has been a Lecturer in Midwifery here since 2019. Whilst working in clinical practice, she rotated between a variety of healthcare settings, including two years working as a research midwife, and worked closely with student midwives throughout this time.

Since joining us, she has become a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy following attainment of a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice. She has also recently completed her Master’s in Education Degree.

Ann’s interests lie in Interprofessional Education (IPE) and she is part of the School of Nursing and Midwifery’s IPE team, taking the lead on IPE sessions within the midwifery curriculum. She is also interested in expanding the inclusion of experts by experience within the undergraduate midwifery programme, specifically asylum seeking and refugee women, and will be undertaking research into the impact this has on student midwives in the near future.

In her role as lecturer, personal tutor and academic assessor, Ann teaches across all midwifery programmes and cohorts, supporting midwifery students to reach their potential and achieve their goals. She is passionate about providing the best education and training possible to our future midwifery workforce.
