Dr Pearl Mok - Research Fellow, University of Manchester
Pearl’s research interests are in mental health epidemiology and pharmacoepidemiology. Her work involves the use of large-scale electronic health databases to investigate topics in these areas. She is leading a NIHR SPCR-funded study investigating primary care-recorded psychiatric diagnoses and self-harm episodes amongst children and young people in the UK before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. She is currently based in the Centre for Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety at the University of Manchester, where she also conducts research into the adverse outcomes associated with the use of antipsychotics in people with dementia, and the effectiveness of prescribing safety indicators in reducing hazardous prescribing. |

He has a background in Clinical Rehabilitation and Public Health and holds a PhD in ethnic inequality in the diagnosis of symptomatic cancer. His workstream aims to identify and quantify sociodemographic differences in the primary care diagnosis of cancer, with the intention of formulating appropriate interventions to address such inequalities.

Bridging Gaps: Improving access to general practice for and with marginalised patients - "It's quite joyful for us, it's really improved our work" |
||

Dr Lucy Potter - Clinical Research Fellow, University of Bristol Dr Lucy Potter is an academic GP in her first year of a PhD (SPCR Primary Care Clinicians PhD programme) at the University of Bristol Centre for Academic Primary Care. For five years she provided an outreach clinic for street sex working women at a drop-in centre. Her clinical and academic work focus on improving general practice for people with severe and multiple disadvantage (SMD). She has used a co-production approach to involve people with lived experience to improve services in collaboration with general practices, using qualitative research to better understand this. Clinically she delivers a co-produced Open Doors clinic at Wellspring Surgery, proactively supporting patients with SMD in general practice. In her PhD she is combining this collaborative approach with realist methodology to develop a complex intervention to improve access to general practice for and with people with SMD. |
