Klara Lorenz-Dant

I am a researcher at the Institute of General Practice at the University Hospital of Augsburg. My work focuses on care pathways of people with chronic diseases. Before moving to Augsburg I worked at the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where I also completed my PhD in Social Policy. At LSE I contributed amongst other things to the Strengthening Responses to Dementia Project (STRiDE) and the LTCcovid.org intiative.
