Iva is EPIC's Research Assistant. Hi, I am Iva, a Research Assistant on the EPIC Project. I started working at the University of Edinburgh almost three years ago, following my BSc in Neuroscience and MSc in Psychology. I work closely with Laura and Samantha to deliver the project’s patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) activities. Our aim is to ensure that the project outputs are shaped by the lived experiences of families and the practical needs of clinicians, supporting both suitability for users and seamless integration into existing clinical workflows. I’m excited about the opportunity to work closely with families and healthcare professional and to listen to what matters most to them, so their priorities genuinely shape how this project moves forward.
