Biography

Peter Carr is an Associate Professor with the School of Nursing and Midwifery University of Galway and an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow with the AVATAR group, Menzies Health Institute at Griffith University, Queensland Australia. He is a vascular access clinician and clinical researcher. Dr. Carr completed his PhD at Griffith University the headquarters of the Alliance for Vascular Access Teaching and Research (AVATAR) group. Dr. Carr is an experienced vascular access clinician and teacher and has developed and co-ordinated numerous vascular access workshops and courses. He is the lead author of a Cochrane review on vascular access specialist teams for device insertion and prevention of failure and he was a principal investigator in the one million global catheter study. He has steadily amassed a consistent publication output per year since 2014 see Google Scholar Profile:  He has been involved in grant success of over 1,500,000 Euro.  Dr. Carr is Ireland's WoCoVA global committee representative. He is the program director of the postgraduate Emergency Care program and module lead for the final general nurse intern year module transition to practice. He leads a vascular access and infusion therapy research group and currently supervises 3 PhD students. He is involved in various leadership roles including the director of postgraduate studies in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. 


Research Interests

My research interest and output thus far include the following topics: reducing insertion and post-insertion failure rates of peripheral intravenous catheters; reducing central vascular access device failure; Thrombosis research; Efficacy of Vascular Access Teams; Healthcare Social Media; Exploring the evidence base and synthesis of vascular access science; Nursing Research; adopting new medical devices and technologies into clinical practice such as ultrasound. Health Service Research and quality improvement. 

Methodological research experience/expertise  Clinical Case Study; Cohort studies; Clinical Prediction Modelling; Systematic Reviews; Scoping Reviews; Randomised Controlled Trials. Co-ordination of multi-centre clinical trials.  Experience in ethics submission with good clinical practice certification. Clinical trial monitoring. I am developing specific methodological expertise in improvement science methodology; netnography/ video reflexive ethnography.
