The programme has allowed me to develop as a researcher and the opportunities for personal development are in abundance. My PhD focuses on the changing perceptions of healthcare intra and post-pandemic. Through examining the drivers of public perception of primary care and how these perceptions can differ within ethnic minorities, I hope to present a patient-centred service model to inform public health policy in future public health emergencies.

Doing a PhD and working with the NHS is incredibly exciting, as I can see the practical applications of my research as I work on it; I can see what I'm doing is going to help people.
