Charlotte Ytterberg

I am an associate professor (docent) in health services research and I have a joint appointment as a senior lecturer at Karolinska Institutet and
physiotherapist with specialist competence at the Karolinska University Hospital. I am adjunct professor at the University of Southern Denmark. I
defended my thesis in 2008 titled: A two-year study of people with multiple sclerosis - Aspects of disability, perceived impact, needs and satisfaction
with care. Since then I have combined research and teaching. I am research group leader of the research team Health services research in neurological conditions.

My research is interdisciplinary with studies on self-management, person-centred integrated care and how healthcare can be organised, with the aim to improve health and everyday life in individuals with neurological disability. In several projects I use co-creation with patients and healthcare providers in the development, implementation and evaluation of complex interventions. I have several collaborations both nationally and internationally in high-, low-, and middle income countries such as Denmark, USA and Uganda.

I have experience in teaching and supervision at undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate level, mainly at the Programme in Physiotherapy and as course leader for the freestanding course Physiotherapy in neurological disability.
