Dr Milena Marszalek

Profile

I am a Clinical Research Fellow in the Clinical Effectiveness Group (CEG), and a practising GP in Tower Hamlets. I am passionate about reducing health inequalities through both my clinical practice, research and global health charitable work. I joined Queen Mary in 2018 as an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow in General Practice - working within the Clinical Effectiveness Group to develop and evaluate an intervention to improve childhood vaccination uptake and reduce inequalities in vaccination in primary care. 

Research

Research Interests:

My research interests include childhood vaccinations, health inequalities and methodology for evaluating interventions in primary care, both in the UK and internationally. My research also forms part of wider research performed in the CEG looking at the role of household determinants and timely vaccination in North East London.
