Sarah Wallcook

I am a researcher and occupational therapist at the Stockholm Gerontology Research Centre affiliated to Lars E Eriksson's research group at NVS. Under the CACTUS research group, I defended my PhD in 2021 at the division of Occupational Therapy at KI as a Marie Curie Fellow with the Innovative Training Network, Interdisciplinary Network for Dementia Using Current Technology. 

At SGRC, I am delighted to be a part of team that delivers practice-focussed research that builds closely on our networks and collaborations with regional and municipal partners to improve equity in older people's living conditions through research and development work that centres on older people's health and social care.

My research topis focus on everyday life in society and the interplay with public and private services, which are all increasingly shaped by digitalisation. I am committed to citizen involvement across the research cycle and engaging older people who may otherwise remain under-represented in knowledge generation and service development.
