Powerful research; meaningful stories

I help research teams and voluntary sector organisations design, project manage, analyse and write up qualitative research on health and social care. I particularly love analysis - teasing out tangled webs of stories into powerful messages for organisations to act on.

I work with…

National health organisations, organisations using health evidence to drive policy decisions and improve women’s health. I also work directly with busy researchers who need to prioritise aspects of their work.

I can work with you at any stage of your research. In the earliest planning stages, designing user-friendly rigorous research is absolutely my thing. And if you’ve already conducted your research and now you have a muddled heap of information, I can help you find your path through the stories - and write it all up for you in a way that everyone can understand.

Some ways I can help:

Development stage

  • Designing an effective research project

  • Defining the questions at hand

  • Identifying and approaching stakeholders, building relationships

Conducting research

  • Project management

  • One-to-one Interviewing

  • Group facilitation 

  • Reviewing and revising research plans

Reporting

  • Qualitative analysis and reporting

  • Revealing the stories behind the data

  • Supporting policy decision-making and communications messaging

None of those sound quite right? Get in touch - let’s see how we can work together. hello@julietrayment.co.uk 

My work

I have a particular interest in maternity care culture and the professional history of midwifery, and I’ve been involved in research projects exploring the experiences of midwives, health professionals, and users of maternity services, including:

  • The Re:Birth Project, consulting maternity service users, health professionals and birth workers on their thoughts and feelings about the language around birth. https://www.rcm.org.uk/rebirth-hub/what-is-the-rebirth-project

  • Developing a set of standards for Midwifery Units in Europe with the Midwifery Unit Networkhttps://www.midwiferyunitnetwork.org/mu-standards/ [links/outcomes/milestones]

  • An ethnography of maternity care culture, exploring what drives difficult organisational cultures. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/36856
