The Research Team

Professor Elaine McColl

  • Professor of Health Services Research

I am a social scientist by background (my first degree was in geography and economics, followed by an MSc in applied statistics), but I have worked in applied health services research for over 25 years, first in my native Ireland and since 1987 in Newcastle upon Tyne. My research interests include chronic disease management, the design and conduct of applied health and social surveys, the design and conduct of randomised controlled trials, and the assessment of patient reported outcomes.
