Autorenporträt
Yvonne M. Greig has been practicing as a midwife since 1991. Since 2000, she has combined academic and clinical practice and has enjoyed practicing in varied roles. In 2011, she became the lead midwife for the Metabolic Antenatal Clinic at the University of Edinburgh/NHS Lothian where care was provided for women who lived with raised body mass index. This clinic conducted many research studies that explored the impact of living with obesity. It was here that Yvonne became interested in the professional practice surrounding the topic and became curious as to why many women had not been told of the risks that living with obesity brought. This curiosity led to doctoral work and has culminated in the publication of this book. Along the way, Yvonne has also worked in Kenya as part of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, delivering education to healthcare professionals with respect to providing maternity care. She has also liaised with colleagues in Greece and supported the development of a midwifery degree course there and has supported the British University of Egypt with modules concerned with family care and health. Currently, Yvonne is a midwifery researcher and lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University.
