Research

Her research encompasses the co-production of health and social care services when involving vulnerable citizens.

During her PhD thesis, she has also deepened the process of value co-creation and co-destruction in the health and social service delivery and the interaction dynamics occurring during co-production workshops.

Since her Post-Doc period, she has developed an intense research activity on task-shifting and the evolution of roles in multi-disciplinary teams in healthcare.
