Alexandra Bhatti

I am a public health practitioner and teaching fellow, with a clinical background in physiotherapy that joined Macquarie University in February 2016.

My varied practice in the field of public health across a range of sectors and portfolio areas over 10 years and additional 7 years working as a physiotherapist allows me to draw on these experiences and apply them to my teaching. Areas of work have included immunisation, policy, global health, climate change, tobacco control and eHealth.

I also work as a freelance Health Research Analyst for the Economist Intelligence Unit in London, where I provide critical appraisal of a wide variety of health research for various audiences.  

I teach into the Master of Public Health and am the unit convenor of the Foundations of Public Health unit and the Innovations in Leadership, Teamwork and Advocacy unit.

In 2018 I was awarded a Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Learning and Teaching Citation Award for creating an interactive and engaging online learning environment for students.
