My research focuses on how digital health can strengthen primary care, improve patient experience and support continuous, coordinated and person-centred care. I am particularly interested in how digital technologies are integrated into everyday practice and whether they address the needs of people living with multiple long-term conditions.

Key areas include digital maturity in primary care; electronic health records and information exchange across services; remote consultations; and the relationships between digital adoption, care coordination and patient-reported experiences and outcomes. My work also examines inequalities in access to and use of digital care, alongside the training and competencies that primary care professionals need to use these technologies effectively.

These interests connect with my broader research on multimorbidity, ageing and health services organisation. Across these areas, I seek to understand which technological and organisational approaches improve care while preserving therapeutic relationships, clinical responsibility and equitable access.
