Rate My Professor Susannah Brady

Brady's research specializations encompass woman-centred care, midwifery education, simulation fidelity in technical skills development, consent during labour and birth, non-pharmacological pain management options for labouring women, and transition to practice for graduate nurses. Her key publications include the book 'Midwifery' (2017, co-authored with Pauline Glover et al., John Wiley & Sons), 'Woman-centred care: an integrative review of the empirical literature' (2019, International Journal of Nursing Studies), 'Achieving international consensus on the concept of woman-centred care: A Delphi study' (2023, Women and Birth), 'Defining woman-centred care: A concept analysis' (2024, Midwifery), and 'The barriers to offering non-pharmacological pain management as an initial option for laboring women: a review of the literature' (2022, European Journal of Midwifery). She has presented at international conferences such as the International Confederation of Midwives Triennial Congress and the Australian College of Midwives National Conference. Her work has advanced the conceptualization and measurement of woman-centred care through tools like the Woman Centred Care Scale (WCCS, developed and piloted in 2016) and contributed to evidence-based practices in midwifery simulation and clinical assessment. With over 30 publications and conference outputs spanning 2009 to 2026, Brady's scholarship influences midwifery pedagogy and clinical practice globally.
