Minds of BCG

Craig Geoff and Barbara work together on a number of projects comprising research, content creation, education, and formal consulting. They leverage their differences in their diverse clinical, research and personal backgrounds and interests to approach healthcare problems with a solution finding lens. Projects are generally led by either Craig Geoff or Barbara. Solutions are always collaborative reflecting their shared background rooted in palliative medicine.

Barbara’s interests include healthcare worker literacy and professional identity, while Craig Geoff focusses on vulnerable communities, values and tech-integration into health care. Both are staunch palliative care advocates and focus much of their work in health professions education. A key component of their work has concerned palliative care access for patients in hard-to-reach areas using virtual solutions.

You can find more information about active projects on this page. There are always new projects on the back end, and always new ideas bubbling under the surface. Keep an eye on this space for projects in which you may be interested in and follow our blog to keep up to date with what we are thinking about.
