I lead a research programme in multimorbidity including recent senior authorship on a Nature Reviews Disease Primers on Multimorbidity. We are interested in designing and evaluating the clinical and cost-effectiveness of intervention to improve health outcomes, particularly for more vulnerable groups such as those with significant polypharmacy or living in disadvantaged communities. I coordinate Deep End Ireland and am also interested in Evidence Synthesis and work closely with HTA team in HIQA providing an opportunity for skill development in health technology assessment
I have led the HRB Collaborative Doctoral Award in Multimorbidity and we are developing a range of interventions that can form the basis for future PhDs in areas such as medicines management, long workers providing social prescribing and exercise. I can support PhD topics that explore other areas of relevance to general practice, primary care, health equity and evidence synthesis
