Dr Christina Feltham

Christina has published research on student midwife and paramedic student interprofessional learning as well as experiences of newly qualified midwives and their learning needs at the point of registration. Her PhD work has seen her publish opinion articles and contribute to Best Practice Guidance as a task and finish group member for ICS, North East and North Cumbria. She is a peer reviewer for several journals including Journal of Midwifery, Journal of Maternal and Infant Nutrition and Nurse Education Today. She is a supervisor for both BSc (Hons) and MSc dissertation students. She is a Year Lead and teaches across all midwifery year groups, including both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Christina's clinical career has seen her work as a hospital-based midwife and a community midwife. She has worked across all settings and has been part of a community team working within a standalone birth centre. Prior to moving to work in higher education, part of her role was working in risk, gaining experience in audit and clinical governance.

She is particularly proud of her work as Lead Midwife for Maternity Matters within the Trust where she previously worked. This involved moving forward Government initiatives, and implementing effective change through change management and education to provide an equitable maternity service across the region. This role focused on developing services and improving outcomes for disadvantaged women and their families.
