I am a pharmacist from the University of Uppsala, with a PhD degree in Social Pharmacy from the University of Oslo. My research interest are within 1) Patient‐Pharmacist Communication 2) Patient’s perceptive on medicine use 3) Pharmacy education and pharmacy practice research. As a teacher I want to arouse students' interest and curiosity in learning for the rest of their professional lives. Thereby our pharmacy students can contribute to a better use of medicines in our society.

My research is designed to help pharmacists and students to adopt new practice tools and ways of practice, for example by introducing communication skills tools to support better medicine use. I use both quantitative and qualitative research methods.

Research interest are within 1) Patient‐Pharmacist Communication e.g. medicine use and how we communicate about it 2) Patient’s perceptive on medicine use e.g. how patients experience using medicine and its impact on their lives 3) Pharmacy education and pharmacy practice research.
