Epidemiologist, pharmacist and pharmacoepidemiology research fellow with the CRE in Frailty and Healthy Ageing returns to Finland.
Dr. Maarit Korhonen is Finnish epidemiologist, pharmacist and pharmacoepidemiology research fellow with the CRE in Frailty and Healthy Ageing who has been working with Professor Simon Bell on a number of pharmacy research projects for the past 18 months. Dr Korhonen will be returning to Finland shortly.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank associate professor Simon Bell and professor Renuka Visvanathan from the CRE for providing me the opportunity to gain insight to the complexity of the clinical situations faced in aged care. After returning to Finland, I have initiated a research project on usage patterns of and outcomes associated with direct anticoagulants funded by the Social Insurance Institution of Finland. The project is based on administrative healthcare data and the study population comprises older people with atrial fibrillation; thus, the insight gained will be most valuable when designing the outcomes part and assessing the validity of its results.Dr. Maarit Korhonen
We wish Dr Korhonen all the best in her fascinating new research.
