Stacey Paterson serves as a Lecturer in the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Paramedic Practice at Robert Gordon University while concurrently practicing midwifery with NHS Grampian. Her professional engagement spans the RCM Risk and Improvement Network, BLS instruction, IPL collaboration, and leadership of RGU's School Outreach Programme, creating synergies between academic education and frontline maternal healthcare.
Her academic foundation includes:
- DipHE in Community Education, University of Edinburgh (2009-2012)
- BSc (First Class Honours) Midwifery, Middlesex University (2012-2015)
- Current PG Cert in Teaching, Learning and Assessment (Nursing & Midwifery), Robert Gordon University (2023-2025)
Her research targets critical healthcare system challenges through three interconnected pillars: Risk Management and Quality Improvement (optimizing patient safety from community maternity perspectives), Staff Retention (addressing workforce sustainability), and Midwifery Education with Lifelong Learning (developing proficient practitioners). This triad reflects her journey from London hospital/community midwifery to Aberdeen's continuity care innovation.
Professional recognition includes:
- Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA)
As an educator, she mentors future midwives through core curricula and clinical supervision, leveraging her continuity midwifery experience to teach evidence-based family-centered care. Her leadership of the School Outreach Programme expands educational access while her RCM Network role ensures clinical realities inform academic training. The absence of dedicated lab structures is compensated by her embedded practice within NHS systems and interprofessional teams.
Her career trajectory—from Community Education studies to midwifery practice and now academic leadership—demonstrates a commitment to improving maternal outcomes through integrated education, risk mitigation, and workforce development, with ongoing growth through her teaching certification.
