Hello, I’m Samantha and I’m a mother of three from Birmingham. I was keen to become involved with the ARC WM as a result of my experiences of having used maternity care services, provided care to family members, and worked in health services as a physiotherapist. As a public contributor, I want to ensure that patient and public voices are ingrained in the ARC WM’s activity. I believe that meaningful involvement of public members increases the relevance of research which, in turn, produces outcomes that can be readily adopted into practice to improve services received by the public.

In my spare time I like to meet up with my friends and go for long, relaxing walks.
