Martha has many years of leadership experience in education, research and  practice in global health and public health. She is an advocate for health equity and has led programmes that support inclusion and promote access to health and social care in various global contexts. Her interests include strengthening health systems and workforce development through multi-disciplinary approaches to address inequities. She led the development of the Global Health Programme at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and was also its programme director.  She champions developing competencies that contribute towards workforce development in the evolving global health landscape. 

As a Reader (Associate Professor) at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Martha leads the School’s  ‘Decolonising Education Working Group’ in operationalising the abstract term ‘decolonising’ into the tangible - in programme and curriculum design, and approaches to teaching and learning.  Martha is an experienced educator, using online, face-to-face and hybrid approaches to teaching, supervises PhDs and master’s students, and collaborates with international partners. 

Her research interests include engaging with qualitative approaches to understand health experiences.  Martha’s work is published in books, books chapters and journals, and covers a wide range of topics including decolonising global health education; communicable and non-communicable diseases; gender, migration and diasporas; health and ethnicity; and lung/respiratory health. She makes efforts to bring those silent or overlooked voices out from the margins into influencing public global health practices, education and its knowledge.
