Research interests
Kevin’s background is as a community and hospital pharmacist. He was awarded an MSc in Community Health by Trinity College Dublin (Ireland) in 2001, after which he worked as a general practice researcher evaluating new models for out of hours general practice in rural Ireland. Since moving to Australia in 2003, he has had a strong interest in developing sustainable models of primary care, particularly the use of task substitution to develop more affordable and more accessible care which are feasible to implement in both rural and metropolitan settings. His PhD thesis examined the feasibility of implementing cardiovascular disease prevention programs in community pharmacy. Current areas of major clinical focus include screening, prevention and management of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in primary care, patient safety/medication safefy, and management of patients with multiple health conditions (multimorbidity). The common threads for all of these areas are the need for excellence in interprofessional coordination and continuity of care, the need for upskilling of individual practitioners (e.g. nurses, doctors, pharmacists), and the need for effective organisational and health system support for local teams to effectively support patients. Understanding these issues has led to his involvement with a range of research methodologies (e.g. co-design with patients, surveys, qualitative research) as well as his leading or substantially contributing to a number of large implementation trials.
