Eva Klamerus

I am part of the Clinical Informatics and Health Outcomes Research Group (CIHORG), led by Professor Simon de Lusignan. Our group is also known as the University of Oxford -  Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) Research and Surveillance Centre (RSC), one of the oldest sentinel surveillance networks in Europe.

The Oxford–RCGP RSC has been the primary source of disease surveillance in England since 1967. More than 2,000 general practices voluntarily contribute pseudonymised patient data, which provides critical insights to inform national health policy and public health priorities. Our key focus areas include tracking disease outbreaks - particularly respiratory illnesses - evaluating vaccine effectiveness, monitoring staff workloads, and understanding winter pressures across the NHS.

I hold an MSc in Epidemiology from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), one of the world’s leading institutions for public health and infectious disease research. My dissertation focused on infectious disease static modelling, estimating the health and economic impact of upscaling HPV vaccination in Poland - for which I received a Merit.

Prior to this, I earned a BSc in Psychology, which provided a solid foundation in research methods and human behaviour - skills that continue to inform my work in epidemiology and healthcare research.

In parallel with my academic training, I gained over seven years of hands-on experience in clinical research delivery within the UK National Health Service (NHS). During this time, I contributed to a broad portfolio of NIHR-supported studies, particularly in psychosis, mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders, vaccines, and maternal health - bringing both rigour and compassion to research at the frontline of patient care.
