As a senior maternity care professional with a passion for equity, safety, and patient-centred care, I have over 12 years of experience in maternity services within the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS). Currently, I lead maternity services across two hospital sites as the sole Midwife in charge of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion. I developed this initiative from the ground up to ensure that every woman and family feels respected, heard, and supported.

In this role, I have been able to influence the workplace culture, enhance staff engagement, and integrate inclusive practices across clinical teams. I have played a key role in shaping care pathways that prioritize both clinical excellence and cultural sensitivity. Additionally, I am actively involved in clinical audits, reviewing guidelines, and conducting risk assessments after incidents or near misses, ensuring that patients’ concerns are addressed promptly and compassionately.

My ongoing contributions to cost-saving initiatives and staff retention strategies have significantly improved team morale and the sustainability of our services. I monitor key maternity performance indicators, such as breastfeeding rates, maternal satisfaction, and access to timely care, using this data to drive improvements.

I thrive in multidisciplinary teams, where collaboration and open communication lead to better outcomes. I am now seeking to leverage my leadership experience, inclusive mindset, and clinical insights to contribute to SEHA's mission of delivering world-class care across the UAE.
