Dr Kristen Pickles is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Wiser Healthcare collaboration and Sydney Health Literacy Lab at The University of Sydney's School of Public Health.

Her research focus is understanding human and system-level complexities driving low value care and overdiagnosis. Her PhD at The University of Sydney explored how GPs in Australia and the United Kingdom navigate screening for prostate cancer. Kristen has training in public health and psychology and expertise in qualitative research methods. Her current projects involve co-designing behavioural interventions with clinicians and consumers that support more sustainable care delivery, with the end goal being to motivate a shift in clinical choices towards carbon neutral healthcare.
