Professor Justine Davies

Co-Director

Professor of Global Health Research

Professor Justine Davies' aim is to do research that informs development of health systems that deliver quality care in lower- or middle-income countries. All of her research aims to answer a policy relevant question and she often works with policy makers, including the WHO.  Specialty areas of interest are conditions that require surgery to treat, injuries, and cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors. All of these specialty areas require a joined-up health system that provides good quality care. Professor Davies is the lead of the Institute for Global Innovation’s Ageing Frailty, and Resilience theme. She also is the co-PI of the NIHR funded Global Health Group – Equi-Injury.
