Josie, is a Consultant in Public Health and joined the University of St Andrews as part of first cohort of Multimorbidity PhD students. Her research area is ‘The impact of interprofessional collaborative practice on health and care outcomes in patients with multimorbidity’.

Multimorbidity is the presence of two or more long-term health conditions in a person, and is a major global public health problem of increasing prevalence. Multimorbidity causes:
higher mortality
poorer quality of life
reduced life expectancy

The Multimorbidity PhD Programme for Health Professionals, supported by Wellcome Trust, and delivered by the Unversities of Glasgow, Dundee, Edinburgh and St Andrews, aims to create a generation of innovative world-leading researchers empowered with expertise in multimorbidity to prevent the condition and better treat those who are already suffering with it.
