Dr. Rebecca Daley

Biography

Rebecca became interested in midwifery while studying Anatomy and Human Biology at King’s College London. She graduated as a Midwife in 2008 and worked for 10 years at University College London Hospital. Rebecca particularly enjoyed providing continuity of antenatal and intrapartum care to low-risk women as part of the midwifery team. She looked into women’s experiences of care models as part of her MRes in Clinical Research in 2011, which led to a varied career in clinical research. As a Clinical Research Midwife, Rebecca recruited hundreds of women and families for wide-reaching reproductive health and childbirth studies. Her role enabled her passion for providing continuity for women during childbearing. Rebecca coordinated a multi-centered study evaluating the implementation of Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) for Down’s syndrome secondary screening from 2013 to 2015. From 2014 to 2019, she worked as a Champion Research Midwife in the North Thames Clinical Research Network to develop reproductive health and childbirth research capacity and capability among partner organizations. In 2017, Rebecca was seconded to King’s College London as a Midwifery Tutor for six months and happily returned in 2020 as a Lecturer in Midwifery Education. Rebecca's research interests include antenatal screening, decision-making, genetics, genomics, and implementation science.
