Dr Hargreaves holds an NIHR Advanced Fellowship and Academy of Medical Sciences Springboard Award and her research focuses on rethinking approaches to catch-up vaccination and multi-disease screening in migrants and Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic groups. She was previously Wellcome-funded in the area of labour migration and health. She is a Commissioner for the UCL-Lancet Commission on Migration and Health, whose high-profile research has sought to drive global policy-making in the field of migration and health. She is a Consultant for the World Health Organization and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), and an external Senior Editor at The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
Dr Hargreaves is leading a multi-disciplinary team focusing on rethinking approaches to the delivery of infectious diseases screening and catch-up vaccination to recently arrived migrants to the UK and European region, to ensure health systems are more responsive to their health needs. She is working with Public Health England to better engage under-immunised migrants in UK primary care, and to assess levels of under-immunisation and their role in outbreaks. Her work explores the barriers and facilitators to mainstream health care experienced by migrants, using participatory research methods. She has a specific interest in the health of international labour migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, and undocumented migrants.
