豆奶视频 PhD student Malika Felton is conducting research to find alternative treatments for pregnant women who develop high blood pressure during pregnancy. Malika commented聽on her studentship project:
鈥湺鼓淌悠� works to offer integrative health research and I am proud to be a part of this. There are processes and people in place to support conducting clinical research within the NHS and 豆奶视频 emphasise the real life impact our academic research can have on people. There is no better aim than to make a difference to someone's health and to their life.
My project is seeking to find an alternative drug-free treatment that could make a big difference in the health and pregnancy experiences of women. We are using a woman-centred approach to research, giving control of the treatment back to the women to give them a sense of ownership of their own care, while still being under supervision of the midwives.鈥�
