About
Dr Bronagh Walsh is an Associate Professor within Health Sciences, University of Southampton and is Doctoral Programmes Director for Health Sciences. Bronagh’s research expertise is in using routine data to explore use and outcomes of health care in older people, with a particular focus on hospital admissions and frailty.
