Dr Rosalind Adam is an academic general practitioner and Senior Clinical Lecturer in Primary Care at the University of Aberdeen, School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition. She combines clinical practice with a programme of externally funded research focused on digital-health solutions for cancer survivors and symptom control.
Education:
- BSc Medical Sciences (First-class honours) – University of Glasgow, 2003
- MBChB (Commendation) – University of Glasgow, 2005
- MSc Primary Care – University of Aberdeen, 2015
- PhD Primary Care – University of Aberdeen, 2018
Research interests span four inter-linked themes: delivering effective primary care, optimising cancer outcomes, advancing digital health, and achieving effective symptom management. She is particularly noted for intervention-development research that blends qualitative co-design with quantitative evaluation to create scalable digital tools.
Recent publications (2023–25) reveal a strong trajectory in AI-driven cancer care, wearable technologies for fatigue detection, and patient-centred decision aids for pain and pharmacy consultations. Collectively these works demonstrate a commitment to translating complex biomedical data into practical, user-centred healthcare improvements.
