Biography

Lorna Roe is a Research Assistant Professor at the Centre for Health Policy and Management in Trinity College Dublin. Lorna is an Alumnus of the HRB SPHERE programme, completing her PHD in Health Services Research and Population Health Sciences in Trinity College Dublin in Ireland 2015. The PhD focused on improving care for older adults living with frailty. It was a mixed methods study, using data from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) in addition to qualitative interviews. Previous work experience includes Social Policy Officer in Age Action, where she worked in the Community and Voluntary Pillar of the Governments' Social Partnership process. There are a number of strands to Lorna's research interests including: Gerontology; ageing trajectories, complexity of needs, frailty and cognitive decline, design of care pathways, healthy ageing and self-determination for older adults. Health economic analysis; health service utilisation and access, particularly econometric analyses to estimate the patterns and costs of frailty and cognitive decline among older adults. Policy analysis; using a whole systems approach to examine access/quality of health and social care for older adults and healthy ageing. Analysis of large datasets, survey, census and administrative data and international comparability of longitudinal ageing datasets. An emerging research area of interest includes exploring how diverse identity impacts on healthy ageing, including the appropriateness and accessibility of health and social care services.
