About Trish Greenhalgh
Professor Trish Greenhalgh is an internationally recognized academic in primary health care based at the University of Oxford. She is the author of over 400 peer-reviewed publications and 16 textbooks with more than 81 000 citations at Google Scholar
Her past research has covered the evaluation and improvement of clinical services at the primary-secondary care interface, particularly the use of narrative methods to illuminate the illness experience in ‘hard to reach’ groups; the challenges of implementing evidence-based practice (including the study of knowledge translation and research impact); the adoption and use of new technologies (including electronic patient records and assisted living technologies); and the application of philosophy to clinical practice.
She has brought this interdisciplinary perspective to bear on the research response to the Covid-19 pandemic, looking at diverse themes including clinical assessment of the deteriorating patient by phone and video, the science and anthropology of face coverings, and policy decision-making in conditions of uncertainty. She has a link to the University of Oslo through the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare Education (SHE).

About Carolyn Lam
Carolyn Lam (born 1974) is Professor of Medicine at Duke-National University of Singapore and Senior Consultant Cardiologist at the National Heart Centre Singapore.
She is world-renown for her expertise in heart failure, and particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. This type of heart failure affects mostly elderly women, is the predominant type in ageing societies worldwide and represents one of the largest unmet needs in cardiovascular medicine.
Dr. Lam is also well-known for championing women in cardiovascular science and is a role model for many young female doctors in cardiovascular medicine world-wide.
She is passionate about investigating sex differences in cardiovascular disease, including the role of gender disparities, and established the first Women’s Heart Clinic in 2011 – the first in Asia - a unique clinical service, tailored to the specific needs of women.
Dr. Lam is famous for her communication skills and is familiar to the Singapore public as Resident Doctor of the health television program “Body and Soul”.
