Sabrina Das Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist

About me

Sabrina Das is a 2024–25 UK Harkness Fellow in Health Care Policy and Practice.

She maintains a clinical practice as a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, specialising in high-risk pregnancy and complex intrapartum care. She also works for NHS England as a National Maternity Improvement Advisor in the Maternity Safety and Support Programme, the highest level of intervention for maternity units across England. She also works as an abortion surgeon for Marie Stopes International and has worked for Médecins Sans Frontières as a women’s health specialist in conflict zones. 

She is passionate about using quality improvement, coaching and leadership skills in improving the lives of the largest global group of disenfranchised people (women and girls). Her life mission is to use her clinical and non-clinical expertise to narrow the gap in clinical outcomes and quality of life for women of colour, women in poverty, and others who have suffered systemic and historical disadvantage. She has led projects in Yemen utilising quality improvement methods to reduce haemorrhage rates, in ethnically diverse West London to co-produce interventions to build trust between formal health care institutions and the local community, and in coastal communities of England to develop equitable pathways of care access. She has published and spoken extensively about quality improvement and how to take policy into practice. 

In 2022, she was listed as one of '50 Leading Lights' by the Kind Leadership Revolution’s Kindness in Leadership Campaign. That year she was also a finalist for the MAMA Academy Healthcare Professional of the Year Award, for providing personalised, culturally competent care to women with breech-presenting babies in pregnancy and labour. In 2021, she was a runner-up for the Health Services Journal Clinical Leader of the Year Award.
