Sophie Patterson

I am a Public Health Registrar and NIHR Clinical Lecturer in Public Health based in the Faculty of Health and Medicine at Lancaster University. My research is in the field of Public Heath and my areas of interest are women's health and rights, sexual and reproductive health and HIV, with a focus on health inequalities and wider determinants of health. I am a mixed methods researcher, and strive to incorporate participatory research approaches. I currently hold a Clinical Lecturer Starter Grant from the Academy of Medical Sciences to conduct research into uptake of and preferences for remote contraceptive services, and implications for health inequalities.

I maintain active research partnerships and collaborations in Canada through my role as an Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University, and a co-investigator of the Canadian HIV Women's Sexual and Reproductive Health Cohort Study (CHIWOS).
