Michelle Butler qualified as a Registered General Nurse and a Registered Midwife before pursuing a BSc in Health Sciences and an MSc in Health Studies. In 2001 she obtained a PhD from the University of Nottingham with a study of competence and professional learning in midwifery. Before joining UCD in 2001 she gained considerable experience in the UK in evaluation research. She returned to Dublin in 1998 as a researcher at the Institute of Public Administration, where she conducted research into aspects of health services and public sector management. At UCD she has been involved in the design and conduct of a range of studies in nursing, midwifery and health systems funded by the Health Research Board, the National Council for the Professional Development of Nursing and Midwifery, the Women's Health Council, the Crisis Pregnancy Agency and the National Council on Aging and Older people. As a member of the UCD Human Research Ethics Committee since it was established in 2002, she had a central role in the development of ethics approval processes at UCD. Her particular research expertise is in evaluation research, case study, systematic reviews and qualitative methods. She lectures on advanced research methods and health policy and planning.
