I am a United Kingdom trained Consultant Obstetrician Gynaecologist, Medical Simulator Expert, Prolific Writer and a Global Good Will Ambassador. I am able to blend my work in the science field of medical practice with being a humanitarian ambassador, an educationist, an author, a passionate motivational speaker, women and youth health advocate as well as a social entrepreneur and an ardent blogger and content creator. I set up Loretta Reveals “borderless motivational space” www.lorettareveals.org in 2015.

I earned my MBBS degree from the prestigious University of Benin in Nigeria. I bagged further postgraduate degrees: an MSc in Public Health Research and another in Clinical Education from the Universities of Edinburgh and Sheffield Hallam both in the United Kingdom. I am currently doing a PhD in Law and Criminology (investigating illegal Migration, Human Trafficking and Contemporary Slavery) at Sheffield Hallam University. I am a member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologist, United Kingdom and have worked in the National Health Service (NHS) as not just a surgical healthcare provider but at multi-levels including management and policy formulation capacities, for over 15 years.
Â
I co-founded the Ashanti Graham Health & Education Initiative Foundation (AGHEIF) in 2010 - a charity with the vision "21st Century Health Care for Africa." The charity has made significant progress in enabling capacity development in Nigeria through healthcare training for medical professionals, providing important equipment, hardware, and soft skills for medical institutions.
Â
Furthermore, I have formal peer review exposure with the British Medical Journal and Cytopathology WILEY-on-line working currently as an Obstetric Skills and Drills Provider for Practical Obstetric Multi- Professional Training (PROMPT) with the Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. A position where I not just teach, but also lead reviews, updates, and develop multi-professional Obstetric simulation training modules for staff to ensure reduction in preventable harm for women and their babies with the overall goal of reducing poor maternal outcomes.
Apart from being a woman in the field of science and healthcare provision, my life journey reflects roles in leadership, people motivation, community mobilisation, academics, research, and advocacy. I am passionate about “Cultural Integration” in African communities as a means to tackling Reproductive and Mental Health issues as well as the ills of Human Trafficking.
