Dr Alice Ladur

Through her research Alice aims to identify innovative approaches to improve quality and access to maternity care services for pregnant women and mothers through capacity strengthening initiatives for healthcare professionals (e.g. in-service trainings), pre-service education (e.g. midwifery education), and male involvement in maternity care

Her previous projects have examined vaccine and immunisation coverage, minimum initial service package for sexual reproductive health in refugee camps, reducing financial barriers for maternal and child health commodities and evaluation of the oral Cholera and COVID-19 vaccine roll out in Uganda. Notable amongst the studies was the village health team assessment in 2015 which led to a policy shift from village health teams to community health extension workers by Uganda’s Ministry of Health.

Alice’s specialism is qualitative research methods, but her strong preference is to work in multi-disciplinary research teams. 

She has published research in journals such as PL0S ONE, BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, BMC Health Services, BMC Medical Education, Midwifery and Campbell Systematic Reviews.

Alice was an author of The Welfare of Women Programme an affiliation of the Global Library of Women’s Medicine, reviewer of the BMC Series and Springer Nature Journals, and is a member of the Research Ethics Committee.
