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.

✨ Come behind the scaffolding with us.
We were given rare access to the Radcliffe Observatory restoration project, climbing onto the roof to see the incredible conservation work taking place behind the scenes.
From spectacular views across Oxford to the Observatory`s intricate zodiac carvings, we discovered details that are normally hidden from view.
Join us as we explore one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks!
Earlier this summer, we were delighted to welcome audiences to our inaugural Garden Play, with a series of sold-out performances of Shakespeare`s `As You Like It` set in our beautiful college grounds.
Our gardens became the Forest of Arden as students, staff, alumni and the wider Oxford community came together to enjoy open-air theatre in a truly unique setting. Even better, the production has received fantastic reviews from Oxford`s student press.
A huge thank you to everyone who performed in and supported this wonderful initiative.
These peaceful moments around college were captured by work experience student Izzie.
They celebrate the beauty of the college gardens and the simple joy of taking a closer look!
Thank you Izzie for sharing your perspective with us 🌸

As conservation work continues on the Radcliffe Observatory, we were delighted to climb to the very top of the impressive scaffold and enjoy a unique perspective on this iconic landmark.
Along the way, we uncovered some fascinating details—and a few cheeky surprises—carved into parts of the stonework. ✨
These hidden marks offer a glimpse into the stories, craftsmanship, and personalities that have become part of the building’s rich history. Stay tuned as we continue to share more behind-the-scenes moments from this remarkable conservation project.
