Dr Charlotte Paddison left the Nuffield Trust in March 2026.
Charlotte's work at the Nuffield Trust focused on improving health and social care.
She is interested in models of care for people with complex needs, the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases such as diabetes; optimising the use of medicines; patient and carer experience; and what works (and doesn’t) in quality improvement. Charlotte led the Nuffield Trust programme of work on primary care.
After completing her PhD in New Zealand, Charlotte worked for eight years in behavioural science, primary care, and public health at the University of Cambridge.
Charlotte has published across a range of internationally leading journals in medicine and behavioural science and she was awarded the Royal College of General Practitioners Health Services and Public Health Paper of the Year (2016) for her work on the primary care experiences of informal carers.
Charlotte is an associate non-executive director at the Royal Papworth NHS Foundation Trust and has previously been a Governor for a mental health community NHS Trust.
