Dr. Cummins is an Associate Professor in Public Health specialising in health services research with a focus on pre-hospital and emergency medicine. While she now mainly works in the clinical setting she originally trained as a scientist and due to this diverse background has an excellent understanding of interdisciplinary research. She believes in research with real impact, findings that will inform policy and practice and ultimately influence population health and patient care. Her work has led to policy changes at national level including the introduction of new models of care and updates in clinical practice guidelines for paramedics in Ireland. She is particularly interested in the integration of health services, clinical screening tools, health behaviour, mental health and social determinants of health. Niamh's speciality is in collaboratively fostering a research culture and building research capacity through networking, mentorship and peer-assisted learning. She also acts as a patient advocate and is a firm believer in participatory health research.
