Biography

With over 20 years of experience in health research, Declan is an Established Professor at University of Galway and the Deputy Dean of the College of Medicine, Nursing, and Health Sciences. He leads a number of large research programs, including Evidence Synthesis Ireland, Cochrane Ireland, and the Health Research Board-Trials Methodology Research Network. These three initiatives aim to improve the quality and impact of health research in Ireland and beyond.

Declan combines his clinical background with his expertise in clinical trials and evidence synthesis to conduct and support research across a broad spectrum of health areas, focusing on the effectiveness of healthcare interventions. He excels in evidence synthesis methodologies, clinical trial design and trials methodology, and reflects a comprehensive strategy to improve healthcare quality and patient outcomes through meticulous research and methodological innovation.

Declan has published almost 300 papers (h-index 51 Scopus, 64 Google Scholar), including more than 30 Cochrane systematic reviews, and has secured over ¿17 million in research funding as a Principal Investigator. He has led a number of clinical trials, recruiting from 100 to over 3000 participants, and serves on a number of national and international Trial Steering Committees and Data Monitoring Boards, where he contributes to the design, conduct, and oversight of clinical trials.

Research Interests

Methods of fetal monitoring including cardiotocography and intermittent auscultation;
 
Implementation and evaluation of models of maternity care;
 
Randomised trials including trial methodology
 
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses and other evidence syntheses

  Description

Lead reviewer [with Begley C, Carroll M, Clarke M.] for a systematic review titled `Integrated (alongside) midwifery-led models of care versus medical-led models of care for childbearing women¿. The protocol for this review has been written and the review is at an advanced stage and forms part of my doctoral thesis.

Established and moderate the `irish-midwifery-egroup¿ electronic discussion list. The purpose of this group is to share and discuss information informally and ultimately to disseminate information among Irish midwives and other health care professionals on issues related to midwifery, childbirth and maternity services in Ireland. The eGroup is funded by the Dept. Health & Children.

I am part of a team (Murphy-Lawless J, Lalor J, Huntley-Moore S) that designed and provided three one-day `Critical Appraisal Skills Training Workshops¿ for women from Dundalk, Drogheda, Cavan, Monaghan and Meath. The aim of the workshops was to (a) help women participate effectively in the maternity Services and (b) develop and test a model for the provision of this education. We are currently seeking funding to further develop and implement the programme with the help of the women who attended the workshops.

Established and moderate the `All Ireland Cochrane eGroup¿ electronic discussion list. The purpose of this eGroup is to allow persons with an interest in evidence-based health care on the island of Ireland to informally share, discuss and disseminate information related to The Cochrane Collaboration and The Cochrane Library. The eGroup is funded by the Health Research Board (Ireland) and R&D Office (Northern Ireland).

I have provided and continue to provide consultancy services on a voluntary basis to a number of consumer groups advocating for choice in maternity care including Cuidiú-The Irish Childbirth Trust, Clare Maternity Services Awareness Group and Kilkenny Maternity Services Group. My work is varied and includes advising on strategy, commenting on documents, sourcing and sharing information.
