Professor Joanne Reeve has been appointed as Professor of Primary Care Research at Hull York Medical School. An academic GP committed to professional scholarship and excellence in academic primary care, Professor Reeve is committed to driving the design, development and delivery of quality primary care.
Reeve graduated from Liverpool Medical School in 1997, and started out planning a career in public health medicine. A Masters in Public Health rekindled her interests in the professional, clinical and academic challenges of developing person centred care. She returned to General Practice and successfully applied for doctoral funding from the NCCRCD (the precursor to NIHR) to look at person-centred management of distress in terminal illness. Following her PhD, she worked in Manchester, Liverpool and Warwick developing a portfolio of work on Primary Care redesign based on the principles of medical generalism (whole person medical care).
