Louise Hunt has a strong interest in public health nutrition, completing her PhD at the Maternal and Infant Nutrition and Nurture Unit (MAINN), University of Central Lancashire. Originally a Nurse, she has also worked for a small third sector breastfeeding peer support organisation. This involved leading and managing breastfeeding peer support projects.
Louise’s interest in peer support developed from her experience of establishing and developing peer support in her local area. This led to postgraduate studies exploring access to peer support and the ways in which third sector organisations have developed peer support services for areas of deprivation. Louise also has experience of research consultancy work and lecturing.
