Anne Leyland is a dedicated Lecturer in Midwifery at the School of Health & Society, University of Salford, with over two decades of experience specializing in bereavement education and simulation-based training. Her work focuses on preparing student midwives to provide empathetic care for families experiencing perinatal loss through innovative pedagogical approaches.
Her academic qualifications include:
- MA in Health Professional Education (University of Portsmouth, 1998-1999, part-time)
- MSc in Forensic Psychology (University of Salford, 2014-2015, part-time)
- PhD in Bereavement Simulation (University of Salford, 2016-2022, part-time)
Research centers on using high-fidelity simulation to develop student competencies in bereavement care, addressing critical gaps in clinical practice exposure. Her investigations into infant feeding practices and baby-friendly accreditation further demonstrate commitment to holistic maternal-infant care standards.
Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal consistent methodological focus on phenomenological analysis of simulation's impact, showing how performance-based training transforms student preparedness and confidence. Cross-study themes emphasize respectful care protocols that mitigate long-term parental trauma after stillbirth.
Dr. Leyland actively supervises Masters and PhD students while contributing to curriculum development. Her tenure as former programme leader included leading comprehensive programme revalidation efforts, demonstrating institutional leadership beyond direct teaching responsibilities.
