Current Research

Georgia has previously worked as a research fellow on the ARM@DA project (NIHR-funded, SoHS University of Nottingham), a realist evidence synthesis which aimed to understand how digital clinical consultations can work to support safe, personalised and appropriate maternity care. She also led the follow-on ARM@DA Mapping Survey, which sought to address information gaps around current practice of digital consultations in NHS maternity care in England today.

Georgia has also held a Mildred Blaxter postdoctoral fellowship from the Foundation for the Sociology of Health & Illness (University of Nottingham, 2023-2025) and an ESRC Impact Acceleration Postdoctoral Innovation Fellowship (University of Warwick, 2021-2022).

Her PhD thesis (ESRC-funded, University of Warwick, 2021) explored women's birthplace preferences, decisions and outcomes in light of NHS England's Better Births policy. This research took a mixed-methods approach to considering different knowledge systems and approaches to risk in maternity care, neoliberal policymaking and the concept and reality of 'choice' in healthcare.
