Ms Giulia Seghezzo

Research Assistant

United Kingdom

I am an epidemiologist with experience in UK electronic health records (EHR) with an interest in real world evidence and inequalities in health care settings. After completing my MSc in Epidemiology at LSHTM in 2019 I spent time as a statistician at Queen Mary University of London, followed by three years at the UK Health Security Agency (UKSHA) (formerly Public Health England) working on building the COVID-19 surveillance database for England as well as the COVID-19 dashboard, and assessing the severity of COVID-19 disease for the government during the pandemic. 

 

I have now returned to LSHTM where my work focuses on using EHR to inform and evaluate National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) healthcare guidance. I will explore the use of EHR as a tool to understand the impact of government guidelines in the healthcare setting. Alongisde, I am also a PhD candidate.
