Professor Bronagh Blackwood

School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences

Professor Blackwood’s overarching programme is to improve the conduct of clinical trials and undertake clinical trials in critical care. Her primary interest is the impact and long-term effects of mechanical ventilation and weaning. She leads on funded projects of clinical trials of protocolised weaning; process evaluations of complex critical care interventions; development of core outcome sets for clinical trials; Cochrane systematic reviews and meta-analyses of trials; development of new interventions to minimise delirium and improve rehabilitation for intensive care survivors.
