Striving for answers to address inequalities

Dr Jackie Maybin is a Reader and Honorary Consultant Gynaecologist based at the Centre for Reproductive Health at the University of Edinburgh. She works in the the field of women's health, specifically looking at heavy menstrual bleeding - a symptom that affects up to one in four women and is extremely debilitating. As a taboo subject, it is under-diagnosed and insufficiently researched. Jackie's team aims to change this by improving the treatment options for people with heavy periods, hopefully preventing them from having to resort to risky, fertility ending surgery. Jackie received support from the Academy with a Starter Grant for Clinical Lecturers and is taking part in our FLIER programme. She explains how the Academy helped her develop her research team and make connections in industry, charities and other organisations.
