GPs deal with a wide range of problems but often face gaps in the evidence-base on how to manage these. I aim to address some of these gaps
Professor Santer leads research with a particular focus on supporting self-management for long-term conditions. While her main focus is primary care, she also aims to carry out research that reaches across primary and secondary care. She is interested in developing evidence to inform management of a wide range of conditions including eczema, acne, skin infections, gout and the management of mental health, acute respiratory illnesses and chronic pain.
Her research methods include qualitative and quantitative research and pragmatic trials in primary care.
