Professor Harm Van Marwijk

Primary and Community Health Services Theme Lead

Professor Harm Van Marwijk

Harm leads the Primary and Community Health Services theme within the KSS ARC. He is Head of the Department of Primary Care and Public Health of the Brighton and Sussex Medical School, and part-time GP.

He believes in place-based dialogue, community engagement, task-sharing and simple digital tools. As a clinical generalist, teacher, researcher, and innovator, he is particularly interested in connectedness. This concept is a core value in Harm's practice, in his teaching, and his research. He believes that connections are necessary for all aspects of medicine, including discussing a patient's symptoms and questions in the encounter, making a diagnosis, and managing consultations and practice.

Harm is interested in improving connections, with an emphasis on vulnerable groups such as those with mental ill health, frailty, a poor lifestyle or unexplained physical symptoms, and on evaluating digital 'innovations'. A core task is to help medical students to prepare themselves for the challenging but exciting world of general practice.

He co-authored 257 papers in PubMed, with H-Indexes for Web of Science 41, Scopus 43, and Google Scholar 57.’
