Biography

Vikki Entwistle re-joined the Health Services Research Unit in January 2013 as Professor of Health Services Research and Ethics.

Vikki started her academic career in health services research at the NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination at the University of York, where she worked as a research fellow from 1994 to 1998. She then joined us in the Unit on a Leverhulme Trust Fellowship relating to patients’ participation in decision-making about their care. She worked here from 1998 to 2005 as Senior Research Fellow then Reader. Vikki was awarded a Harkness Fellowship for 2003 to 2004 and spent the year at Harvard School of Public Health developing work on patients’ contributions to efforts to improve healthcare safety. In September 2005 Vikki moved to a post in the Social Dimensions of Health Institute at the Universities of Dundee and St Andrews. That post was initially funded as part of the Alliance for Self Care Research initiative.

Vikki has served on various research and editorial committees. In particular, from 2007 to 2010 she served as Editor of Health Expectations – an international journal of public participation in healthcare.

Research Interests

In broad terms, my research interests relate to values and ethics in health policy and health care delivery. I am keen to encourage the use of philosophical analyses and of ideas from philosophical literature to support improvements to health policy and healthcare delivery, including via health services research.

I currently have particular interests in:

'Person centred care' and associated concepts such as health literacy, patient enablement and shared decision-making:

  • how they are understood and valued (including in relation to healthcare safety and effectiveness);
  • how they can be achieved in practice in different health and social care contexts; and
  • how they can be assessed.

Capabilities approaches to quality of life assessment, and applications of these approaches in the development of health and social care policy and research. 

I am willing to discuss potential PhD supervisions and postdoctoral mentoring arrangements within these broad areas.
