Profile:

Professor Anna Glasier, OBE, is considered the world expert in emergency contraception (EC). Glasier's work in developing new methods of EC, exploring ways to increase EC use and evidence provision has allowed countries to make EC available off-prescription.

Research and links to the UoA:

Glasier's data led to UK Government approval of alternative emergency contraception available over the counter (OTC) in 2001. The Scottish Government made EC available OTC for this purpose for free, from 2008, resulting in a 10% drop in abortion rates in Scotland, 2008-2012.

A subsequent multi-centre randomised trial and meta-analysis of 2,221 women, led by Glasier and Cameron (NHS colleague and UoE Hon. Senior Lecturer), showed that ulipristal acetate is the safest, best form of emergency contraception. References:

1. Glasier AF, Cameron ST, Fine PM et al. Ulipristal acetate versus levonorgestrel for emergency contraception: a randomised non-inferiority trial and meta-analysis. Lancet 2010; 375:555-62.

She maintains strong research links with Professor Critchley in MRC Centre for Reproductive Health.
