Dr Hannah Rayment-Jones is a midwife and current post-doctoral research fellow in the Department of Women and Children's Health at King’s College London. She has worked in a range of clinical midwifery and obstetric settings, including the provision of continuity of care for women with social risk factors, and had a teaching role prior to establishing her research career. Her research focuses on maternal and newborn health inequalities using realist methodology. She is committed to ensuring the patient voice is heard and was a founding co-chair of the Institute of Women and Children’s Health Patient and Public involvement committee.

In 2020 Hannah completed a NIHR funded doctoral research fellowship researching how maternity care can improve clinical outcomes and experiences for women with low socio-economic status and social risk factors. During this time she had the opportunity to engage with the wider NIHR academy through attendance at several NIHR strategy board meetings and the Academy’s Involvement Group.

Hannah recently completed a NIHR Development and Skills Enhancement award, focusing her development on health data science with an aim to improve the reporting and recording of ethnicity and socioeconomic status in maternity care.
