Personal profile

Research interests

My work focuses on adherence to long-term anticoagulation therapy in chronic conditions such as atrial fibrillation and secondary prevention of venous thrombo-embolism. The aim of my research is to explore factors associated with health beliefs that determine adherence to these therapies and develop tools to support patients in the management of their medication and broader health.
