Biography

Dr Katie Gallacher joined General Practice and Primary Care in 2009 as an Academic Fellow. She graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2004, after completing an intercalated BSc (MedSci) in developmental medicine in 2002. She completed her GP training in the south of Glasgow in 2008 and now works as a GP.

Dr Gallacher completed her PhD entitled An exploration of treatment burden and patient capacity in people with stroke in 2016. She was awarded a Stroke Association Clinical Lectureship in 2017 and now works as a senior clinical lecturer in General Practice and Primary Care. She has a special interest in research that explores and measures the workload of self-management for people with long-term conditions including stroke, and in the development and testing of interventions that minimize this workload and maximize capacity to manage health problems.

She represents the Royal College of General Practitioners on the National Advisory Committee for Stroke, and in the UK Stroke Forum.
