Join the Aberdeen Centre for Women's Health Research's (ACWHR) virtual seminar with Professor Edwin van Teijlingen on Wednesday the 17th April on 'reflections on the medical/social model of childbirth'.
Professor van Teijlingen is trained as a medical sociologist and has an interest in mixed-methods research, qualitative research and evaluation research. A large share of his academic work has been in the fields of Public Health, Health Promotion and the Organisation of Maternity Care. Edwin has substantial research experience in conducting large-scale comparative studies, usually applying interdisciplinary and mixed-methods approaches.
He has been involved in evaluating large-scale community-based public-health interventions in Scotland funded by, for example, the Chief Scientist Office (Scottish Government, Edinburgh), the Wellcome Trust, and NHS Health Scotland.
He has also published on various aspects of research methods in a format easily accessible to a lay audience, including a paper on research ethics published in a midwifery journal.
Edwins international research is largely based in Nepal where they are involved in several research projects in the community with Green Tara Nepal to improve health and well-being of poorer people in Nepal. In 2009 they started a DelPHE grant in collaboration with the oldest university in Nepal, Tribhuban University, the University of Aberdeen and Green Tara Nepal. This interdisciplinary project: Improving Access to Research Literature for Higher Education Institutions in Nepal (PARI Initiative) helped build research capacity at Nepalese universities.
