Dr. Marta Roqueta Vall-llosera has an academic
and professional trajectory that began with her career as a nurse and midwife,
encompassing fifteen years of clinical experience. During this period, she
initiated research activities that resulted in scientific presentations and
several publications. Her career has progressively consolidated up to the
present day.
After completing her Diploma in Nursing in 2007, she began her career as
a hospital nurse at Dr. Josep Trueta Hospital in Girona. Later, in 2010, she
decided to specialize as a midwife, pursuing her studies at Birmingham City
University (2011–2013) and undertaking clinical training at Birmingham Women’s
Hospital NHS Trust (United Kingdom), a leading institution in high-risk
obstetric care and research. She furthered her professional career as a midwife
at St. Richard’s Hospital in Chichester, United Kingdom.
In 2015, Dr. Roqueta returned to Dr. Josep Trueta Hospital in Girona to
continue her work as a midwife. Simultaneously, she embarked on her academic
career, initially as a nursing tutor and clinical instructor in midwifery
residency training, and subsequently as an adjunct professor at the Department
of Nursing at the University of Girona (2016).
In 2017, she completed a Master's degree in Health Promotion at the
University of Girona, marking the start of her research career. She
subsequently pursued doctoral studies, culminating in the successful defense of

presentations and a scientific publication indexed in ESCI. Following her
doctorate, she fully dedicated herself to academia, serving as a tenure-track

Concurrently, she joined the research group “Health, Gender, and Aging.”
Her research focuses on several areas, including

research projects, notably “Analysis of Healthcare during Pregnancy,
Childbirth, and Postpartum in Girona Province. Intervention Program Towards a

the University of Girona (2018–2022). She has supervised numerous undergraduate
and master’s theses, and she is currently co-supervising a doctoral
dissertation.
Regarding educational innovation, she is a member of the COIL and
