Dr. Rose Galvin
Biography
Rose graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a BSc (hons) in Physiotherapy. She worked clinically before undertaking a PhD in the Discipline of Physiotherapy at Trinity College. The focus of her PhD thesis was around the provision of additional exercise therapy to people with acute stroke through the involvement of their families in the delivery of exercises to them. Rose undertook a post-doctoral research fellowship at the HRB Centre for Primary Care Research at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. She was appointed as Director of the Centre in 2013 and joined the School of Allied Health in March 2015 to take up an academic position in physiotherapy.In 2020, Rose received a HRB Research Leader award (€1.5 million) to examine models of integrated care for older adults transitioning from the Emergency Department to the community in he Mid-West region.
Research Interests
Rose's research interests lie in the areas of gerontology and neurology and include the evaluation of models of health service delivery to improve the quality, timeliness and cost of care for older adults who attend the Emergency Department. She has a particular interest in the prediction of adverse events in older adults through the use of clinical prediction rules. In addition, she is currently involved in several systematic reviews with meta-analysis, and in medicine management studies of the elderly, particularly in relation to opioids and inappropriate prescribing. In 2014, Rose was accepted onto the International Primary Care Research Leadership Programme, hosted by the University of Oxford. Her research outputs reflect the diverse range of interdisciplinary national and international research collaborations. Rose is a CORU registered physiotherapist. She is also the Vice President of the Irish Gerontological Society (www.gerontology.ie) and a member of the Society for Academic Primary Care (SAPC).Peer Reviewed Journals
