Miss Georgia Wood

I am a Lecturer in Midwifery in the School of Nursing and Midwifery at London South Bank University, having joined the academic team in 2023. I am a registered Midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), with experience across both NHS and international healthcare settings.

I remain actively engaged in clinical practice, ensuring that my teaching and student support are grounded in current, evidence-based midwifery care. I hold a Master of Science in Global Maternal Health and am also a qualified Professional Midwifery Advocate, supporting wellbeing for student midwives. 

My MSc research explored workplace bullying and horizontal violence among midwives in Malawi through primary research. This work underpins my ongoing interest in:

• Workplace culture in maternity settings
• Staff wellbeing and its impact on care quality
• The relationship between professional environments and safe outcomes for women and newborns

I am currently active as a supervisor for Master’s students, supporting research development.

In 2024, I led a scoping review commissioned by NHS England, examining flexible working practices for student midwives across London. This work informed the implementation of flexible working principles within midwifery education programmes.

I continue to support this initiative by leading a Community of Practice, ensuring these principles remain embedded and responsive to student needs.

I am a Module Leader for:

• Promoting Excellence in Midwifery Practice (Level 6)
• Introduction to Midwifery Practice (Level 4)

In addition, I contribute teaching across the BSc Midwifery programme and PgDip, as well as to interdisciplinary modules where my expertise adds value.

I hold several leadership and academic roles, including:

• Academic Integrity Coordinator
• Academic Assessor
• Personal Tutor
• Link Lecturer
• Professional Midwifery Advocate
• K2 Platform Lead

These roles enable me to contribute to student progression, professional standards, digital learning innovation, and the overall quality of the educational experience.
