trish ON OXIMETERS
working with faith-based communities
Professor Trish Greenhalgh
During the pandemic, Oxford University's Laiba Husain and Trish Greenhalgh took part in a national initiative to help vulnerable groups monitor their oxygen levels at home.
They visited the Oxford Mosque to give out free oximeters.
Laiba and Trish found that working with a community leader, like an Imam, gave people trust and confidence to try the new technology.
