Rachel Rowe

BA (Hons), DPhil

University Research Lecturer and Senior Health Services Researcher, NPEU

  • NIHR Post Doctoral Fellow
  • National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit (NPEU)

Rachel Rowe is a Senior Health Services Researcher in the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit (NPEU).  She has a DPhil in Public Health (University of Oxford), a background in social science and health services research and training in epidemiology and qualitative research methods. 

Rachel’s research interests include intrapartum care, the organisation of maternity care and women’s experience.  Her doctoral research, funded by a National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Researcher Development Award, investigated transfer from midwifery unit to obstetric unit during labour and was carried out alongside the landmark Birthplace national prospective cohort study which evaluated the safety of different settings for birth. Since the award of her doctorate she has continued to work on further analyses of Birthplace data alongside other work focusing on women’s experience of care after stillbirth or neonatal death.  In August 2014 she was awarded an NIHR Post-Doctoral Fellowship to carry out a programme of work on the quality and safety of midwifery-led care.
