Her session, Activating Insights: Qualitative Methods for HCP Research Across Complex Markets, explored how design, recruitment, participant experience, moderation, and synthesis shape meaningful healthcare insights across complex markets.

The session highlighted that complex markets need local expertise throughout the study, not just at one stage. From reaching the right specialists to building trust, probing for clinical reasoning, and interpreting findings with cultural context, local expertise turns verbatims into insights that organisations can act on with confidence.
