Research

I am the co-lead of the Acute Primary Care Research group, which studies various aspects of acute primary care, including telephone triage, help-seeking behavior, acute care organization, video consultations, point-of-care testing, and antibiotic prescribing.

I focus on practice-based research that enhances primary care delivery, employing diverse methods. I value multidisciplinary, cross-sectoral collaboration, emphasizing constructive teamwork in primary care organization.

Cooperation and dissemination

I value building bridges at institutional, national, and international levels. Nationally, I collaborate with researchers in primary care, prehospital emergency care, and emergency care. I co-initiated ReACT, a data and Research network on Acute Care Trends. Internationally, I have a strong network of researchers involved in out-of-hours primary care and digital care. I also initiated the European research network on out-of-hours primary care (EurOOHnet).

Teaching

I have extensive teaching experience at the bachelor, master, and postgraduate levels. Currently, I serve as the course leader for the bachelor’s course Public Health for Medicine. With a clinical background and broad research expertise, I effectively bridge public health and research with practice, inspiring students. I enjoy supervising students, guiding their research careers, and providing constructive feedback. I have been supervising both medical and PhD students.
