Profile

Dr. Steph Ejegi-Memeh joined the Department in January 2023. After completing a Master of Nursing Science (Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Barcelona) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Public Health (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London), she was awarded a PhD scholarship from the School of Allied Health Professions, Nursing and Midwifery, University of 91ֱ��. She completed her PhD in 2019, under the supervision of Dr Sharron Hinchliff and Dr Maxine Johnson.

Steph’s current research centres around health inequalities related to underrepresented groups, gender and ethnicity. She is currently working on an NIHR Career Development Award focused on the contribution that Black led community organisations make to Black mental health and well-being and she co-leads (along with Professor Sarah Salway and Dr Kath Maguire) a Workstream for the NIHR School for Public Health Inequalities Programme (Co-creating knowledge partnerships with minoritized & marginalised communities/groups). She works closely with healthcare professionals and community organisations. Steph has worked with several non-governmental organisations and universities internationally. She has extensive experience as a community volunteer in Spain and the UK. Initiatives that Steph has supported in a volunteering capacity include enabling access to health care services for people living with HIV who are newly diagnosed, promoting safe sex, and promoting mental health in the Black community.

Steph also works within the Mesothelioma UK Research Centre based in the Division of Nursing and Midwifery, where she explores the lived experience of mesothelioma.
