Georgios Karampatakis

Dr. Georgios Karampatakis is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Health Services at the Centre for Primary Care, part of the Wolfson Institute of Population Health within Queen Mary University of London's Barts & The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. He joined QMUL in March 2022 and contributes to the AD-HOC study, a multidisciplinary program funded through a NIHR Programme Grant for Applied Research that focuses on co-designing digital social interventions for people with troublesome asthma.

Dr. Karampatakis completed an MSc in Clinical Pharmacy at University College London in 2016 and earned his PhD in Pharmacy Practice in late 2020. His doctoral research explored the impact of pharmacists in general practice by examining perspectives from patients, community pharmacy teams, and general practice staff.

His research interests span pharmacy practice, primary care, digital interventions in healthcare, healthcare policy and regulation, healthcare workforce and education, medication safety, and qualitative research methodologies. Dr. Karampatakis has developed expertise in in-depth qualitative techniques, formal consensus methods, realistic evaluation, and systematic reviews.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a consistent research trajectory focusing on digital health interventions for respiratory conditions, particularly asthma, and the integration of pharmacists within primary care settings. His work demonstrates a methodological evolution from qualitative explorations of pharmacist integration to more complex mixed-methods evaluations of digital health interventions, with increasing emphasis on implementation science and ethical considerations in digital health.

Dr. Karampatakis actively supervises MSc students in their dissertation projects and contributes to teaching activities at Queen Mary University of London. His current work on the AD-HOC study involves all aspects of research from ethics applications and protocol development through data collection, analysis, and dissemination of findings.

His research is primarily conducted within the Centre for Primary Care at the Wolfson Institute of Population Health, working as part of multidisciplinary teams that include clinicians, researchers, and patient representatives. This collaborative approach is evident in his publication record, which consistently features diverse authorship reflecting interdisciplinary research partnerships.
