Prof Philip Evans joins the PACT Senior Advisory Board

I’m very happy to announce that Prof Philip Evans has joined the PACT Senior Advisory Board.

Philip Evans is an academic GP and was, until his recent retirement, 31 years as a GP partner in St Leonard’s Practice, Exeter. He is Deputy Medical Director of the NIHR Clinical Research Network and was previously the NIHR CRN National Specialty Lead for Primary Care. He is Professor of Primary Care Research in the University of Exeter. During the COVID-19 pandemic he was Deputy Chair of the NIHR Urgent Public Health (UPH) Group and has recently led the CRN engagement with the four-nation PRINCIPLE and PANORAMIC studies of community-based treatment of COVID-19. He has over 25 years’ experience of leading primary care research networks, both locally and nationally.

We are very grateful to Phil for joining us and look forward to having his input into PACT’s future work.
