Hollie is a Research Fellow working as part of the Born and Bred in (BaBi) Network Team. Hollie worked as part of the BaBi Network Coordinating Centre team during her PhD, where she explored how local decision-makers could be best supported to use BaBi data as local health intelligence for child and maternal health. As part of this work, Hollie developed a method of engaging members of the public and local practitioners, commissioners, and service providers to identify and prioritise local evidence gaps around child and maternal health, to be addressed with local BaBi data.

Hollie has an undergraduate degree in Economics and Business Management, with industrial placement, from Newcastle University and an MSc in Health Economics from the University of York. Her research interests include child and maternal health, the use of routine data for research, and reducing inequalities.
