In the research programs Learning Health System and Primary Care, I am responsible for, among other things, linking dental data to theNivel Primary Care Database. I also work within the Primary Care Research Department on various projects with the Nivel Primary Care Database e.g. the delivery of annual figures from general practitioners on public health and healthcare use in the Netherlands.

I get excited about working with different colleagues/project groups within and outside the Nivel, and to contribute to knowledge enhancement in combination with research. In addition, I find the link between research and practice very important; puzzling with figures and data in order to come to a usable result, with which health care can be improved.
