She has written research papers predominantly in the field of placental disease, and regularly reviews manuscripts submitted for publication to a range of medical journals including the British Medical Journal and Prenatal Diagnosis. Her particular interest is in the field of medical litigation and she often provides medico-legal reports in cases of adverse perinatal outcome or medical malpractice.
