Sarah has been a practising midwife since 2006 and was employed by the University Hospitals of Leicester (UHL) NHS Trust as a fully rotational midwife providing universal and additional care to women during the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal periods. Sarah spent two years working within the midwifery research team alongside her clinical role at UHL and in 2018, she undertook further training to become a Newborn and Physical Examination of the Newborn (NIPE) trained practitioner.

In 2019, Sarah joined the Midwifery Education Department at the University of Leicester.

While in this role, Sarah was successful in achieving Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (Advance HE). In 2019, she was appointed to a full-time Lecturer in Midwifery position and has responsibility as a Year Lead, Module Lead and Personal Tutor.
