Research Fellow Jane Hirst awarded title of Associate Professor
Research Fellow Jane Hirst has been awarded the title of Associate Professor at the University of Oxford.
Professor Hirst is a consultant obstetrician and Principal Investigator (PI) who leads a diverse global program of work to improve the lifelong health of mothers and babies, focusing on pregnant women living with diabetes.
She said: ‘I am thrilled to receive this title in recognition of my work to improve pregnancy outcomes for women and babies around the world.’
The overarching aim of Professor Hirst’s research programme is to develop novel solutions to improve pregnancy care delivery, including the integration of non-communicable disease prevention strategies into maternity services and the use of novel digital technologies to strengthen health systems.
She leads the diabetes pregnancy service at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and in 2017 was appointed a Senior Research Associate at the George Institute for Global Health.

Maddie Bennett from Bartholomew School in Eynsham spent last week with the communications team at college and found some friendly faces too!
Last week, the college welcomed guests for a special afternoon marking the launch of the Pirie Society.
The event celebrated the college’s new legacy society and recognised those who are considering, or have chosen, to leave a gift in their will to the college.
Their generosity will help shape the future of the college for generations to come.
