Krystal Warmoth

I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Academic Centre for Health Ageing (ACHA)—a collaborative initiative between Barts Health NHS Trust, Queen Mary University of London, and Barts Charity. My work focuses on improving healthcare for older adults, particularly those living in care homes.

I led the NIHR-funded STOPPING project, which explored approaches to safe and effective deprescribing in care home settings. I also completed a fellowship with the THIS Institute, co-producing a vision for primary care that better meets the healthcare needs and priorities of care home residents within existing systems and resources.

Since earning my PhD in 2015, I have worked across the UK and USA, contributing to diverse research areas including psychosocial interventions, implementation science, rehabilitation, behaviour change, palliative care, and public health.
