Angelique de Ron

Angelique de Ron serves as a lecturer-researcher at the Involved Science research group within the Centre of Expertise Perspective in Health at Avans University of Applied Sciences, where she has worked for three years following over 35 years of clinical experience in mental health care as a nurse practitioner, complaints mediator, and peer supervision facilitator.

She operates within the Involved Science research group focused on participatory health approaches and contributes to the West Brabant Regional Deal as a collaborative effort between the university, healthcare providers, and community stakeholders to strengthen local health ecosystems.
