Becky Sawyer is a Senior Lecturer in Midwifery and the Deputy Course Leader for the Midwifery BSc (Hons) and the Midwifery [Short] BSc (Hons). She is a Registered Midwife and joined the University of Suffolk in 2018. She has completed her PGCAP and MSc in Advanced Midwifery Practice and is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Becky is also trained to be a hypnobirthing teacher and continues to work doing bank shifts within the local trust. Becky is passionate about students understanding research, so has led on taught research modules and written an Understanding Research Series for The Practising Midwife Journal. Becky's research interests surround societal perceptions and understanding of pregnancy and birth and she has recently applied to start a PhD to explore this further.
Becky has taught across all of the modules of the undergraduate midwifery BSc programme. She is currently the module leader for the Dissertation module, The Research Project and Continuum of Midwifery Practice.
Becky has explored midwifery student’s experiences of the research methods module as part of the PGCAP SSRI. Additionally, Becky has undertaken a qualitative exploration of midwifery student’s experiences of online learning during the covid-19 pandemic.
Becky’s research interests are around societal perceptions and knowledge of pregnancy and birth, to then look at the possible impact this may have on birth experience. A research proposal has been submitted for a PhD to explore this further.
