I am a PhD candidate in Health Policy at Patient Safety Translational Research Centre, Institute of Global Health Innovation. My research project focuses on combining methods from causal inference and machine learning to evaluate the adoption and impact of the online access route to general practice on patient safety and equity of care. I am being supervised by Mr Erik Mayer, Professor the Lord Ara Darzi, Professor Mauricio Barahona and Dr Noemi Kreif.
