Biography

Elsa Montgomery aims to ensure that women, babies, and families receive excellent care throughout their encounters with maternity services during pregnancy and birth. She believes this is achievable through education and research and works to equip students with the skills necessary to become safe and compassionate practitioners capable of delivering evidence-based care tailored to individual needs. Her research involves actively listening to women, understanding their priorities, and identifying important unanswered questions. Montgomery's PhD, awarded by the University of Southampton, involved a feminist narrative study on the maternity care experiences of women who were sexually abused in childhood. At King’s, she is developing and evaluating educational resources for students and healthcare professionals that raise awareness about childhood sexual abuse and equip practitioners with the skills to respond sensitively to survivors. Her research interests include the impact of childhood sexual abuse on maternity care, the experiences of cervical and breast screening for survivors, and the integration of trauma-informed healthcare perspectives in clinical practice.
