“For me translational research means that findings get back to the lay person and have an impact on their health". Dr Louise Keogh is the Public Health Epidemiology and Health Services Research Domain Coordinator. She is very interested in identifying the barriers to better communication between the lay perspective and the expert perspective on health issues. |
