Dr Mel RamasawmyPostdoctoral Research AssociateEmail: m.ramasawmy@qmul.ac.ukProfileResearchPublicationsProfileI am a qualitative researcher working on the MODE study, which aims to understand when interim diagnoses represent missed opportunities to diagnose cancer. My background is in health policy, where I covered medicine and medical device safety, and social care. More recently my research has focused on patient experiences of care for long-term health conditions including cardiometabolic disease, Long Covid, obesity and depression; and on digital health inequalities in the South Asian population in the UK.
