About
Carrie Eckersley
UK registered dietitian working in primary care, with an ongoing thread of service evaluation, writing and practice-based enquiry alongside it.
The short version
The work spans clinical dietetics, primary-care service design, evaluation, health communication and a few experimental digital tools. The through-line is an interest in how people, behaviour and health systems adapt in context.
In practice that means noticing where the standard explanation or pathway does not quite fit, and then exploring, explaining, designing or building something more useful.
How the work fits together
Clinics generate questions. Questions become research, writing or a service redesign. Sometimes they become a small tool. None of the strands are separate; they just move at different speeds.
