Robbie Duschinsky is Professor of Social Science and Health at the University of Cambridge and a researcher in NIHR ARC East of England’s Mental Health and Wellbeing theme.
Robbie is also the Deputy Head of the Primary Care Unit. He is also a Fellow and Director of Studies at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge.
Robbie’s research interests primarily concern child and family mental health, the integration of health and social care, and the use of qualitative methods within primary care research.
He is the co-Principal Investigator (together with Professor Tamsin Ford) of the COACHES study, which examines mental health provision for children with social work involvement. Other funded projects in his research group include studies of mental health provision for young people who self-harm, and for young people experiencing homelessness/insecure housing.
Robbie has a passion for supporting practitioners and early career researchers interested in the integration of children's health and social care services, and would encourage those with related interests to get in touch.
