Clare Goyder

I am a clinically-active academic GP and mixed methods researcher with over 15 years of experience. My work focuses on diagnosis in primary care. I has been an NIHR Academic Foundation Programme trainee, an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow and a Wellcome Trust Doctoral Fellow in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences. My DPhil focused on improving the diagnosis of heart failure in primary care. I was the Principal Investigator on a study to assess the impact of point-of-care testing in primary care. I have also led projects on diagnostic error, the patient experience of heart failure diagnosis and the accuracy and acceptability of natriuretic peptide screening. I also co-led a public engagement project which created an art installation and digital interactive exhibition to capture individual experiences of living through Covid with diabetes.

My current research focuses on the intersect between chronic conditions and health inequalities, with the aim to develop diagnostic interventions including health technology innovations, that specifically improve early diagnosis in underserved community populations.

I am a clinical tutor to third year medical students on the learning with patients course.
