Chema Valderas

Jose Maria (known as 'Chema') is an Academic General Practitioner (Senior Research Clinical Fellow) and Head of the Health Services and Policy Research Group. Before joining the Department in March 2010, he held appointments at the National Primary Care Research and Development Centre, University of Manchester (2007-2010), the Centre for Health Services Research and Development, Department of Health Policy and Management, Johns Hopkins University, United States (2006-2007), and the Health Services Research Unit at IMIM-Hospital del Mar, Spain (1998-2006).

Chema has a background in Medicine (LSM), Primary Health Care (GP), Public Health (MPH) and Health Services Research (PhD). Chema's research has covered different aspects of research on structure, processes and outcome of health services, and currently his research focuses on three main inter-related topics: the use of patient reported outcomes in primary care, the delivery of high quality health care for people with multi-morbidity, and the implementation of patient safety in primary care (interested PhD/DPhil students on these areas are most welcome to approach him).

He currently holds a NIHR Clinician Scientist Award which will fund a 5 year programme of research on the clinical use of Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMS), i.e. patients’ reports on their own health, in primary care for patients with selected multiple conditions (2011-2016).

Chema is also Senior Researcher at the Policy Research Unit in Quality and Outcomes of Person-Centred Care, Senior Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics, Visiting Fellow at the WHO European Observatory of Health Systems and Policies, Visiting Scholar at the Menzies Centre for Health Policy, Associate Editor of the journal Quality of Life Research and member of the Cochrane Collaboration group on PRO Methods.
