Robert Trubey

Overview

I am a Research Fellow based at the Centre for Trials Research (CTR).

I have a particular interest in working with health and adminstrative data to help support research and trials in population health and social care. I have experience of working with SAIL in Wales, NHS Digital in England and eDRIS in Scotland. I am currently involved in routine data studies looking at homelessnes and health (Moving-On) and the views of young people with Type-1 Diabetes on the use of their health and education data for research (Steadfast). I am a member of routine data working groups within CTR, and oversee the centre's annual NHS Digital DSP Toolkit submission.

I also have expertise in designing and conducting systematic reviews. As part of the PUMA project, I lead and published an international review of the clinical effectiveness of 'Peadiatric Early Warning Scores' for detecting deterioration in paediatric in-patients. I am currently a co-applicant on a DECIPHer-lead review of interventions to improve the mental health of care-experienced children (CHIMES).

Prior to working at CTR, I lead a series of process evaluations of a Welsh Government school-based toothbrushing programme (Designed to Smile), informing the expanded roll-out of the scheme across Wales.
