About this position

This PhD position at Maastricht University focuses on improving outpatient care for vulnerable older adults through the GOUD-poli, a specialized primary-care geriatric clinic developed in collaboration with Maastricht UMC+ and the regional general-practice organisation ZIO.

The doctoral researcher will help relaunch and further develop the GOUD-poli and will contribute to both quantitative and qualitative research on its impact. The project examines how this new first-line service can improve diagnostics, efficiency, and cooperation between general practitioners and internal medicine/geriatrics specialists, with the aim of delivering the right care in the right place and reducing unnecessary referrals to other specialists.

The student will work within an interdisciplinary team that includes internist-geriatricians, general practitioners, epidemiologists, health economists, researchers, and students, while collaborating closely with participating general practices. The position is based at Maastricht UMC+ and the successful candidate will be employed by Maastricht University as part of CAPHRI, the Care and Public Health Research Institute.

The research program spans several complementary themes: evaluation of referral and care patterns before and after the intervention, qualitative exploration of healthcare professionals’ experiences, survey-based study of older adults and caregivers, descriptive analysis of cases presented in the clinic, analysis of medication reviews and follow-up of related recommendations, and assessment of cost-effectiveness. Overall, the project offers a chance to contribute to locally organized care for frail older people, with possible broader uptake across the Netherlands.

The research environment is international, interdisciplinary, and closely connected to both academic medicine and primary care.
