Emily Clark

Emily Clark is an Honorary Researcher and NIHR In-Practice Fellow at Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia, within the Department of Health Services and Primary Care. Her research addresses critical gaps in healthcare access for asylum seekers, homeless populations, and other vulnerable groups through qualitative public health and primary care frameworks.

Her work investigates the medicalization of distress among asylum seekers, structural barriers to healthcare, tri-morbidity management, and healing processes using innovative methodologies like photovoice and I-poems. Key themes include migration health, mental health stigma, and social determinants of health, with consistent focus on equity and compassionate care delivery in high-stress contexts.

Clark's publication trajectory (2020-2025) reveals deepening specialization in migration health and vulnerable populations, characterized by strong qualitative rigor and policy-relevant findings. Her research consistently bridges clinical practice with social justice imperatives, particularly regarding asylum systems and homelessness.
