We are delighted to celebrate Professor Rose Galvin, member of the Health Research Institute (HRI), Co Director of the Ageing Research Centre (ARC)and Associate Professor in Physiotherapy at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ (UL), for her recent feature in a national media campaign on chronic pain, published by HealthNews.ie. Her work continues to highlight the importance of safe, effective, and compassionate care for older adults accessing emergency services.

In the article, Professor Galvin discusses the urgent need for tailored healthcare pathways that address the specific challenges faced by older adults in emergency departments. Her research underscores the value of evidence-based interventions that not only improve patient outcomes but also help to reduce unnecessary hospital admissions—an approach that supports the broader aims of Sláintecare and sustainable healthcare reform in Ireland.

This recognition is a testament to Professor Galvin’s dedication to advancing healthcare through rigorous research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a strong commitment to person-centred care. Her contributions are helping to shape a more responsive and equitable healthcare system for some of the most vulnerable members of our society.
