Assistant professor Oncology in Primary Care

Together with my research group ‘oncology in primary care’, I aim to position the GP and other primary care physicians in all phases of care for patients with cancer. Our ultimate goal is to do research that enables the provision of better integrated, continuous, and more person-centred care for patients with cancer. More concretely, we study the organization of cancer care and collaboration between health-care professionals. Furthermore, we conduct research into long-term effects of cancer therapies, especially in light of recent developments in treatments, and how to effectively treat or alleviate these. Lastly, we aim to understand barriers and facilitators to implementation of health care innovations. We use a wide range of different methodologies like cohort studies, qualitative research, and participatory action implementation research.
