About

Dr Danielle Schoenaker is a Principal Research Fellow / Associate Professor in Preconception Health and Care at the University of Southampton.

Danielle’s research focuses on improving the health and wellbeing of people of reproductive age before and between pregnancies, developing and evaluating approaches that reduce inequalities and support healthier outcomes for individuals, families and future generations. She combines evidence synthesis, analysis of large-scale population datasets, and collaboration with patients, the public, healthcare professionals and policymakers to ensure her research translates into meaningful improvements in policy and practice.

As an NIHR Advanced Fellow, she leads research to inform preconception care in primary care. She co-chairs the Primary Care subgroup of the UK Preconception Partnership to collaboratively develop practical, evidence-based approaches that strengthen preconception care in primary care settings.

Danielle is the Emerging Lead and Implementation Work Package Co-Lead for the Preconception and Interpregnancy Health theme within the NIHR Inequalities Challenge: Maternity Disparities Consortium. This programme of research is implementing and evaluating a system-wide blueprint for preconception and interpregnancy care and support to reduce maternity disparities and improve outcomes for families across the UK.

Danielle co-leads the International Core Indicators for Preconception Health and Equity (iCIPHE) Alliance, an international collaboration developing agreed indicators to monitor population- and system-level preconception health and care. This work supports countries to measure progress, identify opportunities for improvement and strengthen the prioritisation of preconception health worldwide.
