Beatriz Goulao is a research fellow and a statistician at the Health Services Research Unit. She leads the PoINT project on patient and public involvement in numerical aspects of trials and was awarded a Fellowship Development Fund by the Wellcome Trust in 2019. Her work aims to improve patient and public involvement and communication of statistics in trial teams. Beatriz is TRiaDS (Translation Research into Dental Setting) methodology research fellow since 2020 and her work focuses on evaluating and streamlining implementation science interventions, including audit and feedback. Beatriz has analysed several dental trials at the Health Services Research Unit and she is the lead statistician in the SCRIPT and PIP trials.
Beatriz is passionate about science communication: she is an Ask For Evidence ambassador and is part of the Public Engagement Group in HSRU having led or been involved in activities with the aim of disseminating research to a wider audience. In July 2018 Beatriz was awarded the Principal’s Prize for Public Engagement with Research in the Early Career Researcher category.
Previously, she finished her MSc in Biostatistics in 2013 and she has an MSc in Metabolic Diseases with a focus on nutrition epidemiology (2013) and worked as a researcher in the Epidemiology Unit of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon and as a registered dietitian in the Portuguese National Health System.

Beatriz's research focuses on three key areas:
- She is the Principal Investigator of the Patient and public Involvement in Numerical aspects of Trials (PoINT): a project to identify priorities to involve patients and the public in numerical aspects of trials
- She is the co-Principal Investigator in an NHS Education project to test whether enhancing audit and feedback with a training session improves antibiotic prescribing in dentistry (TiPTAP - Training in Practice Targeting Antibiotic Prescribing (TiPTAP): A Randomised Controlled Trial). As TRiaDS - Translation Research in a Dental Setting - methodology research fellow, Beatriz is involved in the design and evaluation of quality improvement interventions in dentistry
- She is the lead statistician in two large National Institute for Health Research funded dental trials: SCRIPT and PIP
Beatriz is the statistician working the diagnostic accuracy longitudinal study EDNA.
Beatriz is a member of the Informed Health Choices International Network.
Beatriz was awarded the Santader Mobility Award in 2017 to work on the efficient collection of dental outcomes in trials at the University of Munster.
Beatriz is a collaborator of the Unit of Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon (learn more here) in the project PEN-3S - Nutritional status of Portuguese elders: national prevalence study and development of an electronic surveillance system.
