I am Associate Director of Clinical Studies and Academic Lead for Undergraduate Primary Care Teaching across Years 1-3. I am also a GP at Temple Cowley Medical Centre in Oxford. I'm particularly interested in developing curricula and new approaches to undergraduate teaching. I am currently undertaking a Fellowship with the Point of Care Foundation, which focuses on patient experience of Primary Care and how we can communicate this as a piece of theatre. |

I am a current DPhil student in the Infections, Respiratory and Acute Care group and have been doing research in the department since I was a medical student at Oxford. I'm interested research in the care home setting and my DPhil study is on diagnosing care home UTI. I work clinically a day a week as a GP for a practice in London looking after a care home. I have held multiple fellowships in my career to date including the academic foundation programme, academic clinical fellowship and in-practice fellowship. |

I am a GP who worked clinically in the Cynon Valley in South Wales, and a clinical trialist focussing on improving the management of infectious diseases in the community. I helped supervise Kome Gbinigie-Thompsons’ DPhil and Post Doc. Amongst others, worked on her cranberry for UTI study and the PRINCIPLE and PANORAMIC trials together, and we were friends. |

I am a Senior Researcher and Educator at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford. I am the Director of the MSc in Evidence-Based Health Care Teaching and Education and the Department’s Academic Lead for the Final Honours School programme. My research interests include lifestyle medicine, research methods/meta-epidemiology, bias and risk communication and medical education. |

I am a Senior Academic GP and Professor of Evidence-Based Healthcare at the University of Oxford. My career developed through the NIHR Clinical Academic Pathways, where I integrated clinical practice with research. My research group focuses on primary care innovations, particularly how they are implemented, evaluated, and translated into improved patient care and policy. I lead undergraduate and postgraduate education programs and have a strong interest in research leadership and personal development, where I also lead academic activities. I advocate for fair opportunities in academia and continue to practice as an NHS GP. |

|
I am a final-year DPhil student in Primary Health Care. I have used multi-method qualitative research to understand how general practice teams navigated the introduction and normalisation of digitalised working routines and digital health technologies, and how this digitalisation impacted staff working conditions and wellbeing, as well as the implications of digitalisation for (in)equities in patient access. I have worked as a researcher alongside the full-time PhD on multiple projects, and have a background in mixed-methods healthcare improvement research. |
|
|
I am an NIHR Doctoral Research Fellow (non-clinical) in the Medical Sociology & Health Experiences Research Group. My DPhil focuses on the experiences of peer researchers investigating their health condition(s) within academic and clinical settings. I am also the recipient of the Medical Research Council (MRC) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) and Oxford-Reuben Black Academic Futures Scholarships. I was formerly an NIHR Pre-doctoral Research Fellow. |

I trained in Physiology and Medicine at UCL and then pursued my GP training at Northwick Park Hospital Vocational Training Scheme. Realising the importance of training in research methods, I undertook a MSc in Epidemiology from London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and concurrently pursued a MD at Imperial College London. My work involves considerable interactions with policymakers in national governments and inter-governmental bodies such as the World Bank and World Health Organization. Recognising the need to improve my understanding of policy making processes, I undertook a Harkness Fellowship in Health Policy and Practice based at Harvard Medical School |

I am an academic GP partner in West Oxfordshire with a particular interest in narrative medicine and the GP-patient relationship. Having initially pursued a career in plastic surgery and a Master’s degree in Public Health I have found my place amidst the stories of general practice. I greatly enjoy teaching medical students and GP trainees and try to demonstrate a balance between the values of traditional practice and ‘modern’ approaches. In my academic work I use a balance of narrative and ethnographic methodologies to try and depict the complexities of real-life general practice. Outside of work I have far too many interests, which include painting, gardening, and trail running. |

I am a GP and Professor of Primary Care and Clinical Education in the Nuffield Dept of Primary Care Health Sciences, where I am Director of UG Primary Care studies and lead the Primary Care Workforce and Learning Research Group. I am Chair of the RCGP Scientific Foundation Board which supports and oversees RCGP research funding and awards. I co-lead the NIHR Clinical Education Research Incubator for Clinical Education Research, and lead the Society of Academic Primary Care Education Research group. My research uses qualitive and evidence synthesis approaches to examine delivery and organisation of primary care clinical care and learning systems. My most recent book is called ‘Generalism in Clinical Practice and Education’. |

During the final year of my GP training in 2019, I completed a Medical Education Fellowship; spending one non-clinical day per week working with the Graduate Entry medical course at Oxford. Since then, I have done education work with both the primary care dept and the medical school. I am interested in widening participation and EDI in medicine and higher education. |
