Dr Tracey Redwood, Associate Professor

My research career as an academic adult and children’s nurse began with the completion of my PhD (2007), having previous undertaken my MSc part time while in Clinical practice. My PhD involved a phenomenological exploration of transition to motherhood and returning to work. Methodologically my expertise is in qualitative although I have undertaken projects of mixed methods. I have been fortunate to be involved in a variety of research projects while at UON for example with teenage Mums, children in care, young offenders and early help for vulnerable families. I led the development of a Universal Family Assessment tool with the Early Help in Early Years Project. Following successful National Lottery Funding a centre for families in my local community was developed and is ongoing. As project lead for the Barnett Schools Resilience Project I was involved in the qualitative aspects and end report. As an Associate professor and project lead for the Converting Willingness To Engagement Project and Student voice project, several recommendations have been implemented within UON. Stakeholders interviews in the UON evalation, 'Well Northants' project, exploring health inequalities in Northamptonshire were pivitol to this project. More recently the Menopause Wellbeing project completion received national coverage, the findings are soon to be published.  Some of the results of the Menopause Wellbeing project are presented in my new book, "Power Surge Balancing Midlife: a guide to living our best life" 1917525168.   Forthcoming research includes engagement with West Northamptonshire around Family Hubs and North Northamptonshire into Diabetes research. As the lead for the Centre of Health Sciences and Services I look forward to facilitating others in the pursuit of their research ambitions, engagement with our local community with Cafe Scientifique and larger audiences using our Holistic Health podcast series.
