Sindija Lisa Hīstere

Sindija Lisa Hīstere serves as an Acting Assistant in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Latvia's Faculty of Medicine. Her research focuses on strengthening primary care systems through dementia care innovation, GP resilience during crises, and medical education reform. Current projects include EU-wide collaborations on intermediate care models and pandemic response strategies.

Her research interests center on dementia care integration within primary healthcare systems, with emphasis on intermediate care models across European contexts. Work examines GP resilience during systemic stressors like pandemics, analyzing safety culture in training practices. Additional focus areas include medical student well-being interventions and evidence-based adaptation of WHO guidelines for Latvian healthcare settings. Fingerprint analysis reveals strong contributions to intermediate care (100%), policy implications (50%), and mixed-methods approaches to quality improvement.

Hīstere actively contributes to national research through the Latvian Council of Science-funded project Enhancing General Practitioner Resilience in Latvia (2024-2025), where she participates alongside international collaborators from Australia and multiple European nations. This work integrates postgraduate training development with evidence-based practice implementation.
