Dr Sarah Bolger

I am a Senior Lecturer in Midwifery and the School Pedagogic Development Coordinator within the School of Health Sciences at the University of Surrey. I am a dual-qualified nurse and midwife with extensive experience in clinical practice, teaching, and curriculum leadership across nursing, midwifery, and paramedic education.

I lead the Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) thread across undergraduate programmes and have developed innovative assessment designs that integrate academic and clinical learning, including the Practice Development Project (PDP) model now used across the School. I also chair the Ted Adams Charity Prizes Committee.

My pedagogic interests focus on academic integrity, generative AI in education, and inclusive assessment design. As Chair of the Generative AI Guidance Group within the School of Health Sciences, I work with both staff and students to support ethical and effective use of AI in learning and teaching.

My research explores organisational learning from patient complaints, health policy, and blame culture in healthcare. I have published and I am currently preparing several manuscripts based on my doctoral research.
