Extended Bio

Throughout her training, Ms Nzelu has gained a breadth of experience in the management of medically complex pregnancies, with a focus on offering a client-centred individualised package of care. She completed her medical training at Warwick University following a first-class undergraduate degree in Medical Microbiology at Edinburgh University.

Ms Nzelu then undertook her training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in the South London Deanery during which she completed her MD thesis at King’s College Hospital.

Her special interest and research are primarily in hypertensive conditions of pregnancies, with over 15 publications and two book chapters published in this area. Ms Nzelu was appointed as an honorary senior lecturer at KCL and uses her strong foundation in research to develop evidence-based best practice.

Finally, Ms Nzelu has a passion for participating in global maternal health strategies and is working together with the Ministry of Health in Uganda to establish shared learning pathways between institutions in the UK and abroad.
