Dr Anna Sydor

Biography

I am currently an adult nurse lecturer; I am also a registered midwife.   I have worked in a variety of adult nursing settings including contraception and sexual health services, accident and emergency and surgical wards.  I qualified as a midwife in 2012 and worked in Oxford as a midwife caring for antenatal, intrapartum and post-natal women and their babies.

I joined Cardiff university in 2015 and since then have held a number of roles within the school of healthcare sciences including Academic misconduct lead and Programme manager for Standalone postgraduate taught students.

Teaching

I teach research in both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.  I also teach midwifery, women’s health and contraception to undergraduate student nurses.

I am available to supervise qualitative projects.  My interests are in women’s health and sexual health.
