About

Georgie undertook an MA in Gender Studies at the University of Leeds, exploring pregnancy discrimination and consciousness-raising in online spaces as part of her final thesis. She gained experience in the use of qualitative research methods which she then went on to use as part of her Masters by Research in Psychology at Leeds Beckett University. Over a 12-month period, she investigated the occurrence of violence, abuse and other ‘morally-challenging’ behaviour in online sperm donation communities, interviewing participants using an in-depth narrative approach. As part of her PhD, she is now researching the risks and possible complications of urogynaecological surgery, the impact these may have on patients’ quality of life, and how patients make decisions about their healthcare. This involves extensive quantitative analysis of existing datasets and reviewing the current information available to patients on the risks and benefits of urogynaecological surgery.

Project Description

Adverse outcomes in urogynaecology: The development of a new domain in the Electronic Patient Assessment Questionnaire - Pelvic Floor (ePAQ-PF)

The thesis will explore patient experiences of adverse outcomes following urogynaecological surgery for conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, mesh implantation and stress urinary incontinence, and the impact that surgery can have on patients’ quality of life. Specifically, it will undertake an in-depth analysis of an existing dataset to investigate what issues patients are reporting, as well as a review of information currently available to patients to help them make decisions about surgery.
