Background
Dr Clare MacRae is a General Practitioner and a Senior Clinical Research Fellow at the Usher Institute. She recently completed her Medical Research Council (MRC) Clinical Research Training Fellowship, during which she undertook a PhD exploring multimorbidity within households. Her doctoral research used quantitative methods to investigate how living arrangements impact health and care outcomes. As part of this work, she spent time at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, where she continues to collaborate as an affiliated researcher. She also completed a policy internship with the Academy of Medical Sciences, funded by the MRC.
Her research uses electronic health records to measure multimorbidity and identify families with children where multiple members have long-term conditions and high healthcare resource needs across generations. She is a member of the Multiple Long-Term Conditions Cross-NIHR Collaboration and collaborates with the NIHR Children and Families Policy Research Unit at the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health.
