Are you ready to move your health data research beyond the academic paper and influence real-world policy?
Join us for an inspiring session with Naomi Launders (fellow at Big Data for Complex Disease Driver Programme), who has successfully navigated the intersection of research, public health, and government.
Naomi will share her personal career trajectory, offering an honest look at the transition from public sector collaborator to researcher. Learn practical, actionable tips for engaging effectively with government bodies and public health agencies, sharing your research in a way that drives policy, and making a tangible impact on population health. As always we’ll have plenty of time to explore the subject with a Q&A at the end of the session.
About our Speaker
Naomi Launders is a research fellow in the Division of Psychiatry at University College London (UCL). Her research interests centre around how having a mental health condition affects physical health. She has over 10 years’ experience of using routine data, and her skills include the use of cutting edge statistical, epidemiological and data science methodologies to answer complex questions with clinical and public policy impact.
Naomi is currently funded by an HDR UK personal fellowship in which she is using a range of electronic health record data from across the UK to investigate cancer and cardiovascular disease in people with severe or complex mental illness. She also works on DATAMIND, an HDR UK data hub aiming to transform how data is used for mental health research in the UK.
